    Description

    Bring cheer to seniors!  'Sunshine Volunteer' Needed at Stein Hospice

    Stein Hospice cares for terminally ill patients at home and in health care facilities throughout Union, Middlesex, Somerset, Hunterdon, Monmouth and Mercer counties. Help our patients by bringing birthday and holiday gifts to cheer them. (Gifts provided by the Hospice and community volunteers who donate their handywork to comfort our patients.) A brief visit can include helping the patient unpack the gift bag and singing happy birthday or holiday songs. A longer visit can include reading aloud, telling stories and listening to the patients memories of earlier celebrations. Help bring joy to Stein Hospice patients!
