There are so many ways in which you can help. If you have a caring and compassionate heart and want to be a help to others, then hospice is a perfect way. If you are interested in becoming a Hospice volunteer, please call or email me to sign up today! I would be happy to come and speak to your church about our program and the need for volunteers in your community.
