Aging Related Projects--Volunteers Needed!!!

The Division of Aging Services has reached out to us about the critical need of volunteers for aging related projects. These projects can range from nursing home visits, delivering meals, preparing meals, or administrative work. The aging population is growing every day and they need your help! Please contact Cynthia Dunn at chdunn@dhr.state.ga.us if you'd like to get matched with an agency in need!

AseraCare Hospice

Are you a licensed barber, beautician or nail technician?  Or certified to provide Healing Touch or massage?

Do you enjoy reading to others, playing a musical instrument, listening to music, watching videos, playing cards, or working with arts and crafts?

Would you want to share your time by helping others with minor chores like picking up their mail, doing light housekeeping jobs or filling their bird feeder?

Would you be interested to hear someone share the story of their life with you?

If any of these interests apply to you--and you have as little as two hours of free time each month--then you are qualified to make a big difference in someone's life as an AseraCare Hospice volunteer! 

Our volunteers provide care and services to patients every single day.  You may volunteer to spend your time with a patient near your own home, or you may provide services in other communities.

If you are ready, willing and able to become an AseraCare Hospice volunteer, we want you on our team!  Please call our volunteer coordinator Sonji Brown at 800-974-4677 or 770-698-8785.
