VITAS is looking for kind and caring volunteers to help terminally ill patients and their families. When you make friendly visits, conversation, play games, music, provide a listening ear, and offer the gift of friendship at a crucial time, you can make a real difference in another's life.
This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking a small amount of time (1 or 2 hours) out of your busy week, you can make the biggest difference in another’s life.
