Volunteer Services “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” - Anne Frank, 1929-1945 By finding your way to this web page you clearly have something to offer hospice patients and their families, people who are facing an incredible end-of-life journey right now. That is, a desire to help improve their lives. Thank you for caring enough to want to make a difference. Snowline greatly depends on the work of volunteers to keep the organization running. There are many ways a volunteer can lend his or her talents to Snowline Hospice. Volunteer duties range from general office support to visiting patients, from delivering medication and supplies to thrift store service. There’s something for everyone, no matter what your talents! Patient and Family Support Patient Care Volunteers are a vital part of the hospice team. They work in private homes and nursing homes by providing patients with companionship and a break to caregivers. These volunteers sit with patients, listen to their stories, read, play music or simply hold a hand. Their visits often give family members a much-needed break. Office Support These helping hands do computer work, filing and assist with mailings. Courier Volunteers When family members cannot get to the pharmacy, courier volunteers will pick up and deliver medications to them. This desperately needed service saves both patient families and the organization a great deal of time and money. Bereavement Support These volunteers keep in touch with those who are grieving by making scheduled telephone calls. They also assist with support groups and the Children’s Grief program. Thrift Store Enjoy the hustle and bustle of a retail operation? Thrift Store Volunteers sort, price, tag and display merchandise. Contact the store nearest you for opportunities. Special Projects This group of volunteers works together on large mailings several times a year. The time commitment is minimal; however, the cost savings to Snowline is immense! Coming Soon Soon, Snowline Hospice will need volunteers to help maintain our new Memorial Garden, where reflection and inspiration will abound. Ready To Get Started?
