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!
If you have a service or talent to offer, please complete the
on-line Volunteer
Application today and mail it directly to Snowline Hospice at the address
below. Still have questions? Call (530) 344-4405 or email the
Manager of Clinical Volunteers
today, and begin making a difference for hospice patients and their families
tomorrow.
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.
