    Description

    One Hour That Changes Everything

    Want to improve your mood, boost your outlook, and get out of your own head for a while?

    Try spending one hour with someone who truly needs it.

    Hospice volunteers visit patients in the community who simply want a little company. Most visits are relaxed and natural:

    Talking

    Looking at photos

    Listening to music

    Playing a simple game

    Or just sitting together

    It’s not medical.

    It’s simply being a good neighbor.

    Many volunteers say this hour becomes the most meaningful part of their week and leaves them feeling grateful, grounded, and positive.

    Volunteer close to home and make a real difference in someone’s day.
