Volunteer: Hospice Volunteer- Helping Someone At The End of Life's Journey. Could That Be You?A Hospice volunteer can help in many ways: spending time with the patient while the caregiver runs errands or has an appointment; providing companionship for the patient; getting together with small groups of volunteers to sing for the patient; running errands for the patient and family; sitting in vigil with patients who are nearing the end of their journey; providing bereavement support during the bereavement phase; and assisting with office and clerical duties in the Hospice Volunteer Office. Whatever your talents may be, there is a way to help someone during the end of life's journey: Do you like to cook? Perhaps you could prepare light meals for the patient and family. Do you like to garden? You could assist the patient with weeding or planting their garden beds? Do you enjoy cleaning? (Yes, some people do!) We always have patients who need assistance with light housekeeping (dusting, vacuuming, etc.) Do you enjoy singing or play an instrument? You could bring comfort and joy to the patient and their family with your musical talents. Seeing a non-responsive patient smile in response to your music is an experience that cannot be described! Are you a veteran who would like to visit and honor our veteran patients? Do you have an interest in organizing a new veteran program for our hospice patients who served? Are you an artist? Perhaps one of our hospice patients would enjoy working on some art with you. Do you have your MSW or Counseling degree and would like to assist with bereavement support for our families? There are always bereavement phone calls that you would be able to assist with. Are you a member of the clergy and would like to provide bereavement support?The possibilities are endless..........please call and let's discuss YOUR interest!
