Helping Hands Hospice recognizes that everyone has special talents and abilities. Our agency plays a major role in providing services either to the patient, the family, or to the hospice staff. Helping Hands Hospice trains volunteers for various volunteer opportunities.

Patient Care Volunteers can provide caregiver relief, offer support, visitation, therapeutic listening, and other assistance to the patient and family. They can also assist with transportation and shopping, and offer bereavement follow-up. At their own choosing and in agreement with the patient and family, the volunteer can provide other services that he/she feels can help ease the stress or strain of caring for a seriously ill family member.

Office Volunteers assist in the Helping Hands Hospice Office by answering the phone, assisting with mailings, and filing.

Special Projects Volunteers help with fund raising activities, holiday projects, and with community awareness efforts.

Handy Person Volunteers can help at the Helping Hands Hospice office with maintenance tasks and errands.

Youth Volunteers can provide excellent companionship for patients or assist the agency with special projects, office work, and maintenance tasks.

All the volunteers working together make life easier for those patients whom Helping Hands Hospice serves.
