    Description

    Lend a Helping Hand to Hospice Patients

    Hospice volunteers are needed in the Atlanta community! Are you a compassionate and caring person with a BIG heart who wants to brighten the lives of others? Our volunteers work with patients with terminal illness, providing companionship, light housekeeping, and respite for their caregivers. We are looking for volunteers with special talents such as music, art, photography, hairdressing, technology, or cooking.

    Are you a veteran OR a civilian excited about honoring home-bound veterans in our community? Get involved with our We Honor Veterans program.

    Be a part of our Virtual Reality program: where we help patients relax and/or fulfill their bucket list through guided virtual reality experiences!

    Assist patient family caregivers through our Caregiver Respite program, providing bedside support to our patients while caregivers get a needed break.

    We are looking for volunteers willing to drive to visit patients at their home or facility at which they reside. Our patients are all over the Atlanta area, from Roswell to Jonesboro, from Marietta to Covington and everywhere in between. Some of our patients reside in the Decatur and east Atlanta area, where our administrative office is housed. We'll find volunteer assignments close to your home for your convenience!

    Please check out our website to apply and for more information: https://www.symponiahospice.com/volunteer.

    We look forward to hearing from you!
