    Description

    Your time is a gift- share it with those in need this Holiday Season

    Caregivers are often exhausted, overwhelmed, and trying to do it all alone. You can offer priceless moments of rest by simply being a calm, caring presence with a patient while their caregiver steps away.

    As a Respite Companion, you may:

    • Sit bedside and provide watchful companionship
    • Read aloud, share music, or just offer quiet presence
    • Allow caregivers to run errands, sleep, or take a needed break
    • Help preserve family well-being during a tender time

    You are not responsible for medical care — just human care.

    Volunteering includes:

    Free, supportive training

    Flexible shifts based on your availability

    Guidance from a dedicated volunteer coordinator and end of life doula

    Deeply meaningful connection and appreciation

    “When you sit with someone, you give the gift of time. When you give a caregiver a break, you give them the strength to keep going.”

    Opportunities in homes & care facilities throughout the region

    Background check required; no experience needed

    Become a lifeline of relief for someone who has been carrying so much love, for so long.

    Join our respite volunteer team. Peace begins with presence.
