Make a Difference – Become a Hospice Volunteer
Community VNA Hospice & Palliative Care is seeking new hospice volunteers. Those interested will participate in a 20 hour training course beginning April 25 and running through May 16, 2017. Sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00AM-12:00PM at Community VNA, 10 Emory Street in Attleboro.
As our Hospice Program grows, so does the need for compassionate volunteers to help our terminally ill patients and family caregivers. Our volunteers are trained to help in a variety of ways such as providing companionship, doing errands, reading aloud, or simply being a listening presence. The majority of volunteer assignments are during the day to meet the needs of our hospice patients.
Assignments take place in the communities we serve which include: Attleboro, Dighton, Easton, Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, North Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Taunton and Wrentham. Volunteers find the work of Hospice gratifying and uniquely meaningful because they assist those in need at a critical point in their lives. One might also choose to volunteer in other areas such as assisting in the administrative offices by preparing mailings, filing, and assisting with special events which are part of our agency’s community outreach efforts.
Pre-registration by April 11, 2017 is required for the hospice volunteer training session.
For more information, please contact the Hospice Care Volunteer Coordinator at 508-222-0118 or email volunteer@communityvna.com<volunteer@communityvna.com>.
