    Description

    Pen Pals for Hospice Patients

    Volunteers are needed for pen pals to hospice patients and caregivers. Hospice patients often feel isolated after a terminal diagnosis. They often lose social connections as their health begins to decline and they can no longer get out and enjoy the socialization and companionship that they once enjoyed.

    If you are someone who enjoys writing letters, WE NEED YOU! Please reach out to me to get started making a difference!
