“From One Veteran to Another: Bringing Care”

Veteran Volunteers Needed for Hospice Patients

Are you a veteran looking to give back in a meaningful way? We are seeking veteran volunteers to support fellow veterans receiving hospice care. These patients deeply appreciate the unique bond and understanding that only a fellow service member can offer.

Many of our veteran patients enjoy:

• Reminiscing on the porch
• Sharing stories and camaraderie
• Playing cards or poker
• Small talk and companionship
• Having someone read to them (some have vision impairments)

Just your presence can bring comfort, dignity, and even joy—helping them forget, if only for a while, the weight of their illness.

Volunteer Requirements:

• Background check
• Drug screen
• TB testing
• Valid state-issued ID
• Auto insurance (if you plan to drive)
• 12 hours of annual education
• A commitment of just 2 hours per month

You can make a powerful difference.

Imagine being the reason someone smiles today—someone who has served our country and is now in their final chapter.

Join us. Be there. Be a brother or sister in arms.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Melissa Crouch
