Advantages of Hospice Volunteering

1. Variety 

HospiceHospice volunteering offers a purposeful experience for everyone. You can contribute personalized support to patients and their families, use your organizational and communication skills to help in the office, or bring your friendly animal companion for pet therapy. Reiki practitioners and massage therapists are also in high demand to provide relief to patients. Whatever your skill or personality, there is a way for you to give back. 

2. Meaningful Work 

Each participant donates their time to the sick and terminally ill. The work you complete is invaluable to patients and their loved ones, who need care and support now more than ever. When you are done with the day, you will have satisfaction knowing your help is making a difference. 

3. Skilled Instruction 

Training is conducted by experienced hospice professionals. With their leadership and guidance, you will understand how to assist families at the end-of-life stage. You will also know how your abilities can benefit others. Whether you participate for a few months or several years, this education will give you the knowledge to volunteer with similar projects in the future. 

If this opportunity is for you, join the training sessions this fall. Learn with fellow volunteers on Tuesday, Sept. 25 from 5 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 27 from 5 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., or Saturday, Sept. 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Winton Road Location.
