    Description

    Could you donate a few hours a week to visit with a hospice patient who resides in Johnson County? Share memories, go through photo albums, play cards, read to them, or just sit quietly in their home (or nursing home) while they rest. The patient's loved one may need to leave the home to attend a doctor's appointment or run to the grocery store. Shifts are usually once weekly for a few hours but we're flexible. You decide how far you're willing to travel. No direct patient care is required - just a caring heart.

    Do you enjoy visiting with others?

    Are you friendly and approachable?

    Do you have compassion for others?

    If so, you would be a perfect fit!

    We also accept couples who would like to volunteer together

    ♥ Make real connections with others and feel useful and needed

    ♥ Impact your community in a positive way

    Become part of our amazing volunteer team! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
