Volunteer Companionship

Trained volunteers who come simply to be there. To sit, to listen, to read aloud, or to hold the room while you get out of the house for an afternoon.

What this looks like.

  • Company and conversation, at whatever pace the day allows
  • Reading aloud, music, cards, or sitting quietly together
  • A few hours of relief so a caregiver can rest, shop or sleep
  • Help writing letters, sorting photographs or recording memories
  • A steady presence in the last days, so nobody sits alone
  • Every volunteer trained, screened and matched to the household

Sometimes the most useful thing is a person in the chair.

Volunteers are not a lesser part of the team. For a caregiver who has not left the house in three weeks, an afternoon is everything.

The rest of the team.

A hospital bed, oxygen and supplies — delivered, set up, and managed for you.

Could you sit with someone?

We train volunteers throughout the year. It asks for a few hours, and it gives back more.
