    Dear Volunteers - Be a Pen Pal to Our Hospice Patients!

    Are you passionate about writing? Do you enjoy arts & crafts? Are you looking to serve seniors in a compassionate and creative way?

    Be a hospice pen pal with Three Oaks Hospice!

    We are looking for inkredible volunteers to serve as pen pals to our hospice patients. The goal of the pen pal program is to bring a smile to the patients' faces and a ray of sunshine to their day via uplifting letters. Hospice pen pals send short and sweet handwritten letters to our patients on a weekly basis.

    This remote volunteer opportunity is

    • Ideal for those who love to write, doodle, and be creative.
    • Accessible for those with limited mobility/availability to visit patients in person.
    • Flexible for those who go to school/work full-time.
