    Description

    RED OAK: Be a friend to elderly folks!

    We would love to have you as a Hospice Volunteer!

    Become a Hero on your own terms

    You can be one of our Volunteers

    When you give us the precious gift of your time and interest, we give you a chance to make a real difference in someone’s life. We train you, find you the right assignment and stand behind you as you grow.

    Patient Volunteer

    Part of a Patient’s Care Team. You will make weekly visits to offer companionship for Patients. Examples of Patient care Volunteer opportunities include reading to the Patient, assisting with a hobby, conversation, listening to music or even watching a TV show together.

    Work with the Volunteer Coordinator to enter facilities & visit your Hospice Patient.

    Volunteers are matched with 1 Patient at a time to someone within a 15-minute radius to where you live.

    Requirements:

    • Must be able to commit to Volunteer for one year @ 1 x per week for up to 1 hour minimum.
    • No resume needed but an excellent skill and resume builder.
    • Volunteer Coordinator always goes along with you on your 1 st Patient visit.

    Location

    200 Washington Street, Red Oak, Texas, US

    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity

    Red Oak is serviced by our Carrollton office, so please choose Carrollton when you apply.

    I pair our Volunteers with a Patient that is very close to where you live in Red Oak, so do NOT worry about thinking that you'd need to drive to Carrollton!
