    Description

    Your Presence is Needed - Companion Volunteer

    Location: Greater Houston Area

    Organization: Star of Texas – Uplift Hospice

    Do you have a heart for people and a desire to bring warmth and comfort to those in need? As a Companion Volunteer, you’ll visit patients in their homes or care facilities, offering conversation, laughter, and a caring presence. Sometimes the most meaningful moments come from simply being there.

    Responsibilities:

    • Provide friendly visits and companionship to patients.
    • Read aloud, share stories, play cards, or simply offer a listening ear.
    • Support the hospice team by helping patients feel seen and valued.
    • Do arts and crafts, bingo and more!

    Commitment: 4 hours monthly — flexible and can be broken up however needed.

    Training: Full hospice volunteer orientation provided. No experience necessary — just a compassionate heart.

    Join us: Your presence can bring peace, comfort, and dignity to someone’s life story.
