    Description

    There are times in every life when we need our community to be there for us; end of life is universally one of those times. Patient Care Support Volunteers mobilize their compassion through companion visits, watching a sporting event together, chatting about pets-supporting each person individually. They provide respite for devoted caregivers, make phone calls to check on hospice patients, and sit Sacred Vigil at the bedside. Be there for someone at their most vulnerable time. Many options available. Training is provided.
