Many of our volunteers come to us having had a personal experience with hospice care, carrying a deep understanding and empathy for what patients and their families go through. This emotional connection fuels their desire to give back and contribute in a meaningful and impactful way.
How Volunteers Make a Difference
Our volunteers offer their time, skills, and, most importantly, their hearts. They engage in a variety of activities:
- Providing companionship to patients
- Playing cards, reading books, or going on outings
- Preparing light meals and running errands
- Offering transportation to stores or appointments
In addition to direct patient support, volunteers play a vital role in our administrative operations. They assist with answering phones, handling mailings, and providing clerical support, ensuring our hospice runs smoothly and efficiently.
