Faith Hospice

Faith Hospice in Batesville is having a difficult time recruiting volunteers to work directly with patients and families, and also in the hospice office.

Some direct patient activities include: talking, listening, sharing stories, playing cards, providing emotional support, grocery shopping or other errands, and Bible reading.

Some office activities that volunteers perform include: clerical duties, filing, mailing greeting cards, answering the telephone, and coordinating with other team members.

Faith Hospice treats the person instead of the disease, and focuses on the quality of life instead of its duration. They are asking that you please consider volunteering; even thirty minutes can make a difference in someone’s life.

If you are interested or would like additional information, please call Melissa Meek at 662-934-2981 or Stephanie Caruthers at 662-934-6560.
