Now and at the hour of our death

Flexible Schedule | Norwalk, OH 44857

We know not when that hour will come, but we can help those who are close to experiencing their final hour. Volunteering for hospice makes a big difference in the life of the patient and their family. Have you ever had one of those friends that can just sit with you, without asking questions, without needing a reason, and just let you be what you need to be? That is what a volunteer can offer a patient in hospice. Sometimes the effort it takes just to answer questions, or respond to medical staff or family members is too much! A volunteer comes with a simple presence, no agenda, a smile, someone to color with or someone who reads to a patient. Family members need to get out and get groceries, get haircuts, see doctors themselves and are afraid to leave their loved one at home alone. A volunteer can sit with that patient and just provide company. Watch a TV show together, listen to music, talk etc. Please consider being a hospice volunteer with us, to be with those approaching the 'hour of their death.'

Sew what?

Flexible Schedule | Sandusky, OH 44870

Like to sew? We need people to make activity blankets, fidget blanks, sensory blankets, rice filled weighted bags, crochet hearts, make teddy bears out of a loved one's favorite shirt, make blankets with color etc. Hospice patients are always in need of these things. I would work with you to ask for items from JoAnn Fabrics, Home Depot, Lowe's, RestoreHabitat, Goodwill, etc for their returned or slightly irregular items that can be included in the fidget blankets. Becoming a volunteer for hospice means you will be vetted just like our staff. Everyone does finger printing, drug screen and TB testing. This assures our patients and their families that we are all trustworthy people who give of our time from a generous heart. If you are interested in helping us, please contact me. Each new volunteer rocks my world and increases my hope for the future! We all do care about each other, often we just don't have the avenue to show that. Join us!
