Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care is offering an introduction and training course for anyone interested in volunteering at the nonprofit organization that serves Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties.
Coastal Hospice depends on a dedicated staff of volunteers to fulfill its mission. Patient volunteers offer comfort and companionship to patients and their families, provide transportation and deliver supplies. Other volunteers support the staff with office work or assist at the Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop in Berlin.
Those interested in volunteering for patient visits are invited to attend the training course on two Saturdays–Oct. 31 and Nov. 7– from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Coastal Hospice Volunteer Offices, Philmore Commons, 224 Phillip Morris Drive, Suite 102 in Salisbury.
Persons interested in volunteering for office or thrift shop work are invited to attend Saturday, Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but are also invited to attend both days.
The course is open to anyone, and attendees are not required to commit to volunteering. There is no cost to attend.
For more information or to register for the course, call Judy Hunt-Harris, manager of volunteer services, at 410-543-2590.
