Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart of Hospice!
There are over 60 patient/family volunteers who work directly with Hospice patients and caregivers. These dedicated individuals were recently honored with the United Way of Greater Williamsburg, Cruikshank Spirit of the Community Award.
Over 160 others form a Hospice Guild. These volunteers do everything from gardening and maintanence in and around Hospice House, delivering equipment to needy families, office support, cooking and baking for guests at Hospice House, hostessing receptions and memorial services, delivering brochures, helping with bulk mailings and attending community fairs. They do just about anything asked of them! We could not possibly do everything without them.
In 2007, a teen volunteer organization was formed to provide a vehicle for incorporating area youth into volunteer opportunities at Hospice House. They are called Hospice Teen Outreach (or HTO.) Membership is open to any interested teen up to the age of 18 years old.
There are numerous other individuals and community groups every year who donate their time, skill and talents to benefit Hospice House. They come from garden clubs, civic and church groups, area businesses, from the College of William and Mary, boy scouts and girl scouts.
They make us all very proud of our community!
