    We are seeking a caring Reading Companion Volunteer to bring comfort,

    connection, and companionship to a hospice patient through the simple

    joy of reading.

    Volunteers may read books, short stories, poetry, magazines,

    newspapers, inspirational passages, or other materials chosen by the

    patient. Just as importantly, you’ll provide a friendly presence and

    an opportunity for conversation and connection.

    No medical care is involved—just your time, your voice, and your

    willingness to be present. Whether you can visit regularly or have

    just a few hours to give each month, you can help brighten someone’s

    day and make meaningful moments possible.

    If you love reading and connecting with others, this may be the

    perfect way to share something you enjoy while making a difference.
