Community Event - Windsor/Leamington - Hospice Volunteer Open House
The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County is welcoming the public to the Hospice’s open house on Monday May 7th, 2-4pm at the Hospice Main Building located at 6038 Empress Street.
Without the support of volunteers, The Hospice would not be able to offer its many programs and services at no cost to the Windsor-Essex community. Volunteers are the heart of Hospice. There are many volunteer opportunities available such as:
• Visiting to patients at home during the daytime hours
• Provide Therapeutic Touch or Reiki
• Provide transportation with your own car or drive the Hospice Van
• Residential Home on site at Hospice – weekend 4 hour shifts are available
• Volunteers to provide practical needs in the patient’s home
• Overnight and evening support to patients
• Lottery Booth attendants located at Caesars Windsor
• Administrative volunteers proficient in Microsoft Office programs
There will be an information session held at 2:15pm in the south auditorium. Please RSVP to Sue MacTaggart at smactaggart@thehospice.ca.
