Hospice Care to Train Volunteers

Hospice Care in Westchester and Putnam offers comprehensive care for the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of people at the end stage of any life-limiting illness. We are committed to helping our patients and their families to have the best quality of life possible at this Important time in their lives. And afterwards, our bereavement programs for children and adults help families to grieve and to move Into the future with hope.

We seek volunteers who are willing to share in this essential work. Volunteers visit in homes, nursing homes or hospitals, providing a listening ear, a warm voice to read a book, a brief respite for a family caregiver, or help with an errand. Volunteers assist with behind-the-scenes office work and fund-raising efforts for our not-for-profit orrganization. Still other volunteers help children to express their feelings and feel supported through art,and other activities in our Caring Circle bereavement groups.

Our next training sessions for new volunteers will be held on three Saturdays, October 23rd, October 30th and November 6th from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm at our office in Tarrytown.

This is a wonderful opportunity to serve people in our own community! The skills volunteers gain will also be helpful to the ministries of our congregation.
