Many of our volunteers have personally benefited from hospice care during a loved one’s serious illness, and they want to help families facing the same difficult time. Others are compassionate individuals who simply want to give of themselves in a very special way.
Our hospice volunteers often work directly with patients and families, providing compassion, companionship, and emotional support. In many cases, the hospice volunteer becomes a true and trusted friend to a patient and family.
Volunteers donate their time and efforts in a wide variety of ways, such as reading to, talking with, or writing a letter for a patient. They may prepare a meal, provide transportation, run an errand, or give a family member a little time off from the role of primary caregiver.
