Someone needs your help today... join the volunteers at Beacon Hospice 

 

 

Your gift is your presence. No matter who you are, you've got something to offer hospice patients.  Typically the needs are simple - companionship and friendship, emotional support, someone to listen - but the small things you do can make an enormous difference in someones life. 

Volunteers are supervised by a volunteer coordinator and supported by other members of the patient care team. 

The Beacon Hospice approach to care creates a patient and family environment of hope, comfort, and dignity.  This approach is extended through our volunteers, who can make an enormous difference in someone's life. 

Volunteering takes many forms.  From working directly with patients at the bedside, to knitting lap blankets, to working in the office...there is something for everyone.  We welcome anyone interested in learning more about volunteering for Beacon to contac the Volunteer Coordinator in their local Beacon office.  However, we do recommed that surviving family members and caregivers wait at least one year following a loved one's death to serve as a direct patient care volunteer on in public relations activities.
