Volunteer Opportunities for Seniors – East Texas and the Golden Triangle

Mean More – as a Hospice Volunteer

We enjoy featuring Southeast Texas senior volunteer opportunities on SETXSeniors.com.

Southeast Texans, particularly Southeast Texas senior citizens are a big hearted group.

Golden Triangle senior citizens can be found volunteering in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, and Silsbee museums, our Southeast Texas Hospitals, with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, with local festivals and rodeos, and in hundreds of other ways.

Many Southeast Texas senior citizens who have been touched by the difference Hospice has made in the life of a friend or family member spend time volunteering with local Hospice organizations.

Volunteers are literally, the heart of Harbor Hospice, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for patients and their families. Every day, Harbor Hospice volunteers make a difference in the lives of so many people. Whether they offer a listening ear to patients and families, assist with daily household activities for patients, provide grief support, serve as a companion to loved ones or share their personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the time given to Harbor Hospice families by volunteers can be the most rewarding experiences of their lives.

Hospice can provide a truly rewarding Southeast Texas senior volunteer opportunity.

As a volunteer for HospicePatient Care Services, you “do good” every day. It takes a very special, caring person to give of themselves as unselfishly as Harbor Hospice patient care volunteers. If you’d like to be a part of the Harbor Hospice team, here are some examples of the activities you can assist with:

• Reading to a patient, or 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
• Helping patients write or tell their life stories
• Cooking, light household chores
• Providing help with makeup and hair
• Assisting with bathing, shaving or other personal care
• Working on crafts or other projects

If you would like to volunteer for Harbor Hospice, please contact one of our wonderful Beaumont and Golden Triangle hospice agencies.
