Volunteers are the very heart of hospice care. Without volunteers, the services we provide would be radically changed.
People are motivated to volunteer for many reasons. Some have faced terminal illness in their own families and want to help others facing the same difficulties. Others simply want to spend time doing something worthwhile, something rewarding to others and to themselves. Many people are aware of how their own lives are blessed and view volunteering as a thankful payback. One of our volunteers shared this sentiment perfectly…
“At the end of my own life, I am sure my thoughts will not be about what I received during this life, but rather what I gave.”
Do you recognize yourself anywhere in the above scenarios? Whatever your motivation, there is a place for you within Hospice of Queen Anne’s.
