    Description

    Be a Companion & Conversation Partner w/ Uplift!

    Sometimes the greatest gift is simply being there. As a Companion Volunteer, you’ll spend time with patients and families through conversation, sharing stories, reading aloud, or simply sitting quietly.

    What you’ll do:

    • Visit patients in homes or care facilities.
    • Offer companionship through listening, chatting, or reading.
    • Be a calming, reassuring presence for patients and their loved ones.

    Impact: Your time helps patients feel valued and less alone during their journey.
