Hospice seeking helpers

Crossroads Hospice seeks compassionate volunteers to provide comfort, companionship and a helping hand to terminally ill patients and their families in their homes, assisted living facilities and nursing facilities. Volunteers are also welcome to help Crossroads staff in the office, including planning a “Gift of a Day,” which asks a patient to describe a perfect day and then makes it a reality.

Crossroads Hospice welcomes student volunteers who are 16 years or older to donate time.

Volunteers share their favorite activities like reading, card games, music, or arts and crafts. They can bring their pets to visit patients or run errands. When: Ongoing
