Hospice Volunteers Needed - In person opportunities to provide friendly visits to people with life-limiting illnesses

Volunteers are needed to companionship and friendly visits to people on hospice care. We are looking for anyone who is interested in making a difference in the life of people with life-limiting illness. Our volunteers are people who may:

• like listening and/or playing music with hospice patients
• help a hospice patient write their life story
• sit with a hospice patient while a care giver runs errands
• want to make legacy projects and crafts with hospice patients
• are willing to sit and just listen, talk, read a book, play cards, etc.

There are so many ways to make a difference in the life of someone who is near the end of their life.

Companionship volunteers do not perform any clinical activities with our hospice patients such as feeding, bathing, toileting.

Volunteers schedule their own visits set their own schedules for days/times

Volunteers receive training that fits into their schedule and can be done on their own time.
