Volunteer Services

 

“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may the world.” - Josephine Billings

Volunteers work together with other members of the hospice team to meet the needs of each patient and their family. Each volunteer brings his or her own unique gift to the work. Compassion and empathy lead them to reach out to their fellow human beings.

Where Help is Needed
Patient Care is an area of service which provides special rewards. After a series of training sessions paid for by TrinityCare Hospice, qualified volunteers commit to a minimum of 3 - 4 hours a week with an assigned patient and family. Tasks include companionship, emotional support, errands and sitting with patients to give family members and caregivers a much needed break.

Office Work
May include such jobs as filing, telephone contact with families.

Hours: Monday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.


Testimonial
“I am a first grade teacher who was looking for an opportunity to give back to the people who made my mother’s last days as comfortable and peaceful as possible. I am now working with an eight year old boy who has two siblings who are terminally ill. He wants the attention from his parents to be as positive as possible, and when they tried to help him with his school work, it became a struggle. He and I are a great match because I can use my skill as a teacher to help him as a reader and writer, and his family has shown me how to love in the darkest night of despair.” -D.Seller
