    Description

    Do you have a heart for hospice? We are looking for kind people to visit hospice patients, to offer companionship and a listening ear, bring donated gifts, sometimes just to read to them or watch TV with them, and to give respite to their family members who need a short break. If you don't know the "right" thing to say, don't worry! The most important thing is to ensure they have a caring presence with them. Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all. Volunteers will be thoroughly trained with a hospice volunteer orientation and a chance to have all your questions addressed. We would love to have you!
