Beacon Hospice Patient Visitor Volunteer

Your presence is needed!!  Free hospice volunteer classes to be scheduled.  Learn how you can improve the quality of life for patients, lessen their isolation and comfort them and their caregivers. Beacon Hospice needs volunteers to provide companionship to terminally ill patients and their families. We need people from Woolwich to Ogunquit and out to the NH border. You may provide a friendly visit or give a caregiver a break.  You may be drawn to sit "vigil" at the bedside.  Perhaps you are a Veteran who would like to support other veterans who are near the end of their journeys?   Or do you have a certified therapy dog who enjoys making new friends?  If so, we welcome you to explore these and other possibilities with us.  Classes will be held at the Beacon Hospice South Portland office located near the Maine Mall.  For more information, please call 207-772-0929. The rewards you will receive from this work will far exceed the time you put in! Thank you.
