    Description

    Do you want to make a difference in the lives of others? If so, we have an opportunity for you!

    LifeChoice Hospice & Palliative Care is currently seeking caring volunteers to visit with our patients in the Northwest Suburbs. Thinking you're not sure what you can do with someone who is experiencing serious illness? Our patients love a variety of activities, including but not limited to:

    • A companion, someone to sit and talk with them
    • Make holiday cards
    • Help them write a letter
    • Play a board game
    • Listen to music with them

    There's so many ways to help! Our volunteers work closely with our Volunteer Coordinator to ensure you and our patients feel comfortable.

    Location

    On-site
