"To volunteer is to give of your time and talents.
But it also gives back, to you, a sense of meaning to your days through
friendships and the warm feelings you receive whenever you share with others."
- Patient care and office volunteer
"It is very easy to volunteer on most Thursdays when
I know that by the end of the day, regardless of the patients’ circumstances, I
will feel rejuvenated by the power of the human spirit."
- Caregiver support, companion-sitting and
deliveries volunteer
"I am convinced it is a calling and a privilege to
interact with and love those at their end time of life. And they are so
gracious and caring for me as well. Anything I can do in the office,
residence or companion sitting for Unity enhances my life."
- Office, Residence and companion-sitting volunteer
"Being invited, as a stranger, into one of the most
personal and intimate times in a person's life is a privilege―an
honor. Life is a journey. At its conclusion, we are all going to
die. As a hospice volunteer, we are part of a team that helps make the
end-of-life experience more comfortable for patients and their families."
- Deliveries and companion-sitting volunteer
"Being a Unity volunteer is one of the most rewarding
forms of giving back. I have the opportunity to meet with wonderful
families, learn a little about them, and to provide assistance as they face a
very difficult time in their life."
- Companion-sitting volunteer
