LEWISTON — Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice is seeking volunteers who can commit to at least two hours per week for the next year to help with a variety of important tasks that impact the quality of life for its patients and support the agency’s work.

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, such as filing, word processing and data entry.

Volunteer 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.

AHCH provides training, a background check and TB testing at no cost to volunteers. In addition, mileage reimbursement is available for some services.

Those interested may contact AHCH by Friday, Feb. 16, to schedule a brief phone conversation to discuss interests. If it looks like this opportunity is a good fit, those interested may attend a volunteer training later in February.
