Delaware Hospice Seeks Volunteers for Spring Training

For a truly rewarding life experience, join Delaware Hospice’s corps of volunteers.  We are seeking kind, compassionate individuals to help support our patients and families and to fill volunteer roles throughout the organization.

As the only non-profit hospice organization in the State of Delaware, Delaware Hospice has been meeting community needs for 24 years, thanks to the support of its dedicated volunteers.

Hundreds of volunteers bolster Delaware Hospice’s activities, each contributing his or her own special gift.  Volunteers assist with community awareness, grief support, fundraising event organization, office work and patient support.  

Patient support volunteers might sit with patients for a few hours, allowing the caregiver to run errands, have dinner with a friend, or take a nap.  While visiting the patient the volunteer might offer a listening ear, read a book, share stories or just sit and hold their hand.

Volunteer training sessions will be held in each of the three counties beginning mid-March.  To register or to learn more call 1-800-838-9800 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator in your community

Volunteering for Delaware Hospice has a wonderful way of putting your life into perspective.  Life is precious… make the most of yours, and someone else’s.
