Description
Franciscan Hospice is seeking caring individuals to share their compassionate hearts with our hospice patients and their families. Not only do our volunteers offer comfort and joy to our patients, they receive comfort and joy in knowing their time is well-spent, and in being the last "new friend" in someone's life.
There is little else that can leave you with this degree of fulfillment. If you are interested in a meaningful volunteer opportunity, I would love to hear from you!
