Here are some of the ways volunteers support our work:

Volunteer Visitors

Volunteer Visitors learn to provide companionship and emotional support to patients and families. Like a friendly neighbor, Volunteer Visitors help take care of practical tasks or simply extend a hand to hold. Volunteers may run errands, help prepare a meal, read to a patient, offer light massage or just share some quiet time. Their presence can make it possible for a caregiver to take a needed break for a few hours.  Applications due by June 5th, 2013.  Training begins June 11th, 2013 

 

 

Grief Support Volunteers

Grief Support Volunteers are understanding listeners. They know that grief is a normal process that follows the death of a loved one. And, they know that each person’s experience of grief is unique. They offer guidance through individual peer support. They also lead weekly grief groups. These volunteers serve both Hospice families and the larger community.  Next training will be held from February 5 through March 5. Application deadline is January 25.

 

 

Staff Support Volunteers

Staff Support Volunteers fill an important role in making sure Hospice runs smoothly and efficiently. They help with office tasks, assist with events, and deliver needed supplies to patients and families.

 

Speakers Bureau Volunteers

Speakers Bureau Volunteers are trained to speak with local groups about hospice care and grief support services. They represent Hospice in the community and help answer questions about hospice care, grief support, and advance healthcare planning.
