We are looking for humble and kind volunteers who don't mind losing a game of bingo from time to time. Seriously have you ever considered that LOSING a round of bingo could be significant? Well, take off your shoes because we're about to step on holy ground.

Hospice volunteers have the unique opportunity to offer specialized skills and spiritual support outside of our clinical team. As a volunteer with our hospice team you can impact the lives of patients and their loved ones by:

- sitting with patients in the last hours of life.

- providing companionship and a listening ear.

- helping our hospice team understand the patient's needs.

- providing respite time for weary caregivers.

- assisting with office/administrative duties.

- purposely losing a game of bingo to a dementia patient who needs one last win in life.

Actually, the opportunities are endless for the right volunteer candidates. This is an opportunity for you to change someone's life and you'll likely be blessed beyond words in the process. This is life and death in their most real moments.
