Volunteers are the Heart of Hospice & Community Care
"Hospice isn't about dying in the end. It's about living till the end." - HCC volunteer
Looking for a unique & incredibly rewarding way to serve your local community and make a difference? Hospice & Community Care's Bob Fryer & Family Inpatient Center in Mount Joy is a beautiful 24-bed facility designed to be a "home away from home" for patients and their families.
The Inpatient Center needs ongoing volunteer support for the following roles:
- Foyer Volunteers: Be the first smiling face patients and their families see when they enter the Inpatient Center. Foyer volunteers assist families and visitors by providing directions, answering questions and providing a calm, welcoming presence.
- Inpatient Center Wing Volunteers: Provide emotional support and companionship to patients, assist the staff with patient support, help with meal preparation and making coffee, organizing and restocking kitchen/pantry supplies, patient laundry, and bringing a hospitality cart to patients and visitors.
- Meal Time Support Wing Volunteers: Support hospice staff during patient meal times by helping to prepare meals, deliver meals to patient rooms, and assist patients with feeding if they need more assistance.
- Music Support Volunteer: Offers the gift of music to patients in the Inpatient Center (voice or instrument).
To become a Hospice & Community Care volunteer, you just need to have a compassionate heart and a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Training is provided for all volunteers, with both in-person and online options offered throughout the year. A team of dedicated Volunteer Coordinators are available to provide continued support.
