Someone Needs Your Help Today… Beacon Hospice (Rhode Island) needed for
More than 1 year
Opportunity Description:
Your gift is your presence. No matter who you are, you have something to offer hospice patients. Typically, the needs are simple – companionship and friendship, emotional support, someone to listen – but the small things you do can make an enormous difference in someone’s life.
Volunteering takes many forms. You can assist patients by reading, writing letters, playing music, or just sitting quietly. You could also offer your knitting and crocheting skills for our patients.
Beacon’s volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team. Our services cover all of Rhode Island. Our comprehensive training program is offered on an ongoing basis throughout Rhode Island and will prepare you to offer your vital support. Volunteers are supervised by a Volunteer Coordinator and are supported by other members of the patient care team.
