Needs From: Volunteer Onslow

Stitch up some good

Want to add a personal touch? Join The Cardinal Hospice Care Craft team, which knits, sews, crochets, and quilts gifts for hospice patients. Don’t sew? That’s okay, we have a no-sew blanket project too. The organization has a number of other ways volunteers can support our aging community.

If you paint, draw, or work with collage materials, try creating some room decorations for patients that are bed bound! What an amazing way to help brighten someones day.

Got a way with paper and pen? Check out our pen pal program.

Hospice volunteers provide patient care and support services through companionship. These services include reading to the client, watching movies, talking, and whatever special talents you may bring! We love matching volunteers to clients with similar interest. Do you play an instrument, sing, knit, or etc? Why not share your talents with members in hospice care who would enjoy your company. This position does require some travel and is not available for volunteers under the age of 18 unless accompanied by an adult.

Cardinal Hospice Care is looking for individuals, and their adorable animals, to provide pet therapy to patients. The volunteer would be expected to visit with hospice patients, accompanied by their certified support animal , to provide joy and a sense of companionship.  

The office volunteer provides indirect / office support services by answering phone calls, filing documents, and assisting administrative staff. This position is great for teenagers seeking SAT hours or volunteers looking to gain experience in office management. No experience is necessary!
