STUDENTS CAN GET VOLUNTEERING CREDIT
Crossroads Hospice seeks volunteers to provide comfort, companionship and a helping hand to terminally-ill patients and their families in their homes, in 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.
Student who are at least 16 years olde may donate as little as 45 minutes per week to help fulfill community service hour requirements while honing their social abilities, boosting self-confidence and developing new skills.
Volunteers share their favorite activities like reading, card games, playing music, or arts and crafts. They can bring their pets to visit patients or run errands and provide respite for family members.
