LEWISTON — Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice is seeking volunteers who can commit to at least two hours per week for the next year.

Volunteer duties include transporting patients to medical appointments, picking up medications or groceries, assisting with meal preparation at the Hospice House, welcoming visitors to the Hospice House, making phone calls to home care patients and assorted office tasks like filing, word processing and data entry.

Opportunities are available across the agency’s service area, which includes all of Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties, northern Cumberland County and parts of Kennebec, Sagadahoc and Somerset counties.

“We hear every day about the difference that volunteers make in the lives of our patients, their families and our staff, but we also hear about the positive impact this work has on those who choose to volunteer for our agency,’’ said Kristen McEvoy, manager of Volunteer Resources. 

AHCH provides training, a background check and tuberculosis testing at no cost. Mileage reimbursement is available for some services.

Space is still available in the training session scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 30.
