Although our hospice team is made up of extraordinary nurses and caregivers, counselors and social workers, we know we can’t do it alone. We need the help of volunteers like you. Helping someone through their end-of-life journey is one of the most courageous and impactful gifts you can give, and the personal rewards are immeasurable.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, contact Laura, Commonheart's Volunteer Coordinator, for more information.
There are many ways you can help support our hospice services. Some involve working directly with patients and families, while others are behind the scenes.
Visit with patients and their families. Share stories, play games, read articles and books, take walks, listen to music, write cards and letters, bring a pet, provide massage therapy, be an interpreter and more.
Help patients leave a legacy by creating audio and video recordings, making scrapbooks and photo albums, transcribing family stories, writing poetry and more.
Answer phone calls. Help with filing, data entry, mailings and correspondence.
Veterans share a special bond of experience and understanding. We invite volunteers to visit veteran patients and help with veteran pinning ceremonies.
One of our best gifts to offer are visits from our furry friends. This special opportunity allows patients to interact with pets.
Have another idea? Please let us know. We’re always looking for ways to help patients and their families.
