Become a Hospice Volunteer

Community VNA Hospice and Palliative Care in Attleboro is seeking new hospice volunteers. Those interested will participate in a 20-hour training course beginning April 2 and running through
April 23. Sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Community VNA, located at 10 Emory Street in Attleboro.

As our Hospice and Palliative Care Program grows, so does the need for compassionate volunteers to help our terminally ill patients and family caregivers. Our volunteers are trained to help in a variety of ways such as providing companionship, running errands, reading aloud or simply being a listening presence.

Most volunteer assignments are scheduled during the day and take place in the communities we serve which include: Attleboro, Easton, Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, Norton, North Attleboro, Plainville, Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Wrentham.

 Volunteers find the work of Hospice gratifying and uniquely meaningful because they assist those in need at a critical point in their lives. One might also choose to volunteer in other areas such as assisting in the administrative offices by preparing mailings, filing, and assisting with special events which are part of our agency’s community outreach efforts. 

Preregistration for this hospice volunteer training is required. For more information, please contact Community VNA Hospice Care Volunteer Coordinator at 508-222-0118 or email volunteer@communityvna.com.
