Specialized training is provided in order to learn how to best respond to the needs of the clients and their families and to work most effectively with the rest of the team of caregivers that include hospice staff, community health care professionals and hospital staff. Client Care Volunteers visit clients, provide respite care and give support to clients and their families. Bereavement Volunteers receive additional training in grief and bereavement in order to support families following the death of a loved one. Administrative Volunteers work in our office assisting the staff by answering the telephone, greeting visitors, assembling information packages, preparing mailings and other office work. Fundraising Volunteers help with special events such as the Royal Frolic, the golf tournament, the fashion show, the house tour and bingo.
New volunteers are always welcome.
