... two of the greatest gifts. While the individuals we serve are
facing illnesses and physical challenges, they are very much spirit-filled human
beings. The time and compassion volunteers share brings hope and eases
burdens. Whether you have direct contact with patients or prefer to
support the mission behind the scenes in the office - there are ways for you to
get involved. We need you - please consider being there for a patient,
just as you hope someone would be there for you or one of your family members
when in a similar situation. Volunteering is truly a gift of yourself.
We welcome volunteers of all ages and skill sets. Daytime, evening and
weekend opportunities are available in Unity's 12-county service area.

Patient & Family Care |
|
| |
Provide companionship for patients or respite for
caregivers. It's a delightful and meaningful way to spend a few
hours of your day - it may include playing cards with a patient in
his/her home or facility, just being present while a caregiver runs
errands or helping with small tasks. |

Office & Outreach Assistance |
|
| |
If you enjoy being in an office setting and assisting
with data entry, filing, mailings and similar projects - we have a place
for you! For those who prefer to be out and about, there are
opportunities to assist at health fairs and with special events.
These functions are vital to supporting our overall goal of caring for
patients and families. |

Creative Projects |
|
| |
If you enjoy knitting or crocheting, consider making a
prayer shawl. It's a wonderful gift to warm the body and soul.
Do you sew? Consider being part of a group of talented volunteers
who make teddy bears out of the treasured garments of loved ones who
have been on Unity's program. |

Hospice Residence |
|
| |
Come be part of our residence team - if you enjoy being
in the kitchen and making simple meals or baking cookies - we could use
a few hours of your time each month! If you'd much rather be
outside, there are gardens and grounds that you can help us maintain -
it's a beautiful sanctuary for patients and families to enjoy. |
