VOLUNTEERING

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

MAKING A DIFFERENCE ONE DAY AT A TIME…

People often struggle with depression as they face a life-limiting illness. While we at Appalachian Hospice strive to keep our patients comfortable as possible, volunteers can make a world of difference in our patients’ lives. Seeing new faces and cheerful smiles can help individuals feel upbeat and positive, despite their potentially declining health. Whether you have stories to tell, or just wish to listen to our patients tell their stories, you can make a difference in someone’s life.

Volunteers can help with any of these tasks (& more!)

  • Playing cards or games

  • Gardening

  • Going for a walk

  • Caregiver relief - allowing caregiver time away to run errands, have lunch or go to a movie

  • Crafts, sewing, or baking

  • Building wheelchair or walking ramps

  • Assist with patient/caregiver errands

  • Mowing lawns or light home repairs

  • Singing, reading, or talking with patients

  • Musical volunteering

  • Keeping vigil with patients during their final days

  • Helping our office stay up-to-date with paperwork, errands, etc.
