    Description

    Haircuts for Hospice Patients (Nonprofit)

    Local, nonprofit Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care (kchospice.org) is looking for compassionate volunteers to provide a special service for patients.

    Most of our patients can’t leave their home, nursing facility, or hospice house. We have a great need for licensed cosmetologists willing to donate just a little of their time (perhaps an hour or two per month) to cut hair in the patient’s residence.

    Whenever possible, we match volunteers with patients in their geographical area. You also have full flexibility to schedule with the patient and family when it's convenient for you.

    A haircut can make you feel amazing and brighten your day, and hospice patients really need that. Please help us provide a great service (and a little pampering!) to a very grateful person and their loved ones.

    Location

    On-site
    8012 State line Road, Suite 202, Shawnee Mission, Kansas, US
