    Description

    Make Friendly Visits to a Hospice Patient

    Imagine being at home all day, unable to go out to lunch or see friends at church.Due to their illnesses, most hospice patients are unable to have the social life they once did. They need people who can come to them. Please consider volunteering your time to chat or watch TV with a hospice patient. Even an hour or two each month can mean the world to someone who can't get out and socialize like they could previously. A friendly face does so much to uplift their spirits. Please contact our volunteer coordinator, Mindy Herrington, to get more information on how you can provide companionship to someone who desperately needs it.
