❤️ Have You Lost Someone on Hospice? If hospice touched your family, you know how much it means when someone shows up. Maybe a volunteer visited your loved one. Maybe a nurse sat at the bedside. Maybe someone simply listened when you needed it most. Now you can be that person for another family.

    Description

    Be the Person Who Shows Up

    ✔ Sit and visit with a patient while a caregiver takes a break

    ✔ Listen to family stories and memories

    ✔ Offer companionship and encouragement

    ✔ Help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness

    ✔ Make a meaningful difference with as little as 1 hour per week

    You don't need medical experience. What families need most is often a caring presence, a listening ear, and someone willing to spend time with them during a difficult season.

    Many of our best volunteers are people who have experienced hospice themselves and want to give back.

    • Friendly patient visits
    • Caregiver support visits
    • Veteran-to-Veteran visits
    • Music, crafts, reading, and conversation

    You remember what it felt like when someone showed up for your family. Now you can be that person for someone else.
