Hospice patients often have dementia and blanket and boards with gadgets on them, buttons, knots, locks, keys, zippers, clasps etc are useful for them. Can you sew? Small lap blankets 18 inches x 18 inches are desirable. Word with wood? Boards with more heavy-duty items like locks, gears, spinners etc are also wonderful. We would work with you to find donated items to use and you would be making them for specific patients. Can you help?

Hospice offers volunteers to patients and their families as they journey the last stages of life together. Sometimes this is visiting patients and being a companion, other times its just sitting in the room with them so that they know they are not alone. Remember what it was like to be alone as a teenager, or recently divorced, or widowed? Just having someone there in the silence of transformation, was so precious. It's not so much 'what' we do, its just 'that' we do it. Being there, being present, being a witness to their journey... Our hospice services six counties and we try to find volunteers in each so that driving time is reduced. Can you imagine yourself sitting with someone and reading to them, playing music together, playing cards or checkers, looking at photos and telling stories, or just sitting while their family runs errands? We need you. Please contact us!

How did I get to this place so quickly? Is my life really ending? My friends and family members have already gone and now I am on the path that leads to what is beyond death myself... Can you sit with me, keep me company, distract me for a bit from my medical condition and give me comfort? My caregiver is tired and needs a break, or I am in the facility with no visitors. I could really use a friendly face to come visit me, hold my hand and bring some love to the moment. Become a hospice volunteer and make a difference. The simple act of visiting and sitting with someone is profound. Join us to help patients in the Willard area.

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!

Do you find yourself with time on your hands and a sense that you could be doing something that helps others? That little inner voice that nudges us into new situations, listen to it. It calls us into new experiences that actually help us grow, as we help others. Visiting hospice patients provides companionship, a sense of safety, comfort and value to them. We, in turn, begin to realize how precious life is and begin making decisions that give quality instead of quantity. This is where simplicity meets sacred; where presence becomes family. Join us and help hospice patients by visiting them in facilities or in their homes. We need your help!
