Hospice Companion Volunteers Needed

Your Presence Can Make All the Difference

Wings Over Virginia Hospice is seeking compassionate Companion Volunteers to provide friendship, comfort, and companionship to patients facing serious illness.

Many hospice patients spend long hours alone and simply benefit from having someone to talk with, listen to their stories, share a laugh, or sit quietly by their side. As a Companion Volunteer, your presence can provide comfort, connection, and reassurance during an important stage of life.

As a Companion Volunteer, You May:

• Visit hospice patients in their homes or care facilities
• Engage in conversation and active listening
• Read books, magazines, or letters aloud
• Play cards, games, or enjoy hobbies together
• Share music, photos, and memories
• Provide a comforting presence through companionship and support
• Offer respite for caregivers through friendly visits

We're Looking For:

✓ Caring and dependable individuals

✓ Good listeners with a compassionate heart

✓ Volunteers who enjoy spending time with others

✓ Individuals who can provide emotional support and companionship

✓ People willing to commit a few hours each week

Benefits of Companion Volunteering:

• Build meaningful relationships with patients and families
• Make a lasting difference through simple acts of kindness
• Share stories, laughter, and life experiences
• Provide comfort and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation
• Become part of a dedicated hospice care team

No medical experience is required. Comprehensive training and ongoing support will be provided.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer is our time, our presence, and a listening ear.

Join Wings Over Virginia Hospice and help ensure no one faces their journey alone.
