Volunteers needed to help hospice patients

LIVERMORE FALLS — Volunteers in the greater Farmington area, do you want to make a real impact within your community?

Do you know how to listen, gossip, chat, sing, bake, cook, sew, knit, quilt, craft, scrapbook, garden, play cards, shop, have fun or be creative? Then maybe hospice volunteering is for you.

Volunteers of all talents are needed to provide care and comfort for hospice patients and their families.

Male volunteers are needed, too, as well as veteran volunteers.

Hospice volunteering is not about a patient’s demise, it is about their living.

Free training starts April 1 at the RSU 73 Adult and Community Education Center, located at the old Livermore Falls High School Superintendents office, 9 Cedar St.

For more information, contact Adult ED program at 897-6722, ext. 202, or Kelly Herlihy, volunteer coordinator, at 621-1212 or kherlihy@beaconhospice.com.
