Crossroads Hospice Needs Summer Volunteers

Memphis Daily News

Crossroads Hospice is seeking volunteers to join its team of Ultimate Givers who strive to provide comfort to terminally ill patients and their families throughout the greater Memphis area.

Ultimate Givers visit with patients in their homes, assisted living facilities and nursing facilities, and help with clerical duties at the Crossroads office. They provide emotional support and companionship to patients and family members, assist with errands, and provide respite for those caring for terminally ill loved ones.

Crossroads Hospice welcomes students 16 years or older for volunteer work that may include reading to patients, playing cards, participating in arts and crafts, and providing office help.

Crossroads Hospice is also seeking volunteers, including students, to support its programs inspired by Jim Stovall’s novel “The Ultimate Gift.” The Gift of a Day program asks patients what their perfect day is and staff and volunteers work to make it a reality.
