Guide to Southeast Texas Volunteer Options

Become a Harbor Hospice Volunteer

Are you looking for a special Southeast Texas senior volunteer opportunity?

It takes a very special, caring person to give of themselves as unselfishly as a hospice patient care volunteer.

Hospice volunteers may do a number of important tasks that range from assisting in office work to being there at a dying patient’s bed side.

If you’d like to be a part of the Harbor Hospice volunteer team, here are some examples of the activities you can assist with:

• Reading to a patient
• Holding a hand
• Staying with a patient while family members take a needed break or keep an appointment
• Shopping or doing errands for a patient
• Listening to a senior talk about their lives, what made them happy, and fears
• Helping patients write, video, or tell their life stories
• Cooking, performing light household tasks
• Providing help with personal grooming, such as makeup and hair
• Assisting with bathing, shaving and other personal care
• Working with the patient on  relaxing crafts or other hobby projects

If you are looking for a meaningful Southeast Texas senior volunteer opportunity, hospice has a lot to offer.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact one of our local hospice agencies serving the Golden Triangle and East Texas: Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, Jasper, Woodville, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Sam Rayburn, Kounze, Woodville, Vidor, and Crystal Beach.
