Golden Triangle Volunteer Opportunity Guide

“No Act is Greater than the Gift of Time”

On today’s Southeast Texas Senior Citizen Volunteer Opportunities, we look at the benefits of volunteering with Harbor Hospice.

SETX 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 Golden Triangle festivals and nonprofit events, and in hundreds of other ways big and small. Each Southeast Texas senior volunteer opportunity offers a different experience and emotional reward.

Many of our Southeast Texas seniors have already had a positive experience with hospice – a friend, a neighbor, a family member.

Southeast Texas senior citizens who have been touched by the difference Hospice has made in the life of a friend or of a family member, often find it rewarding to spend time volunteering with Southeast Texas Hospice care organizations.

Volunteers are the heart of Harbor Hospice of Southeast Texas, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for both SETX hospice patients and their families.

Each day, Harbor Hospice volunteers make a difference in the lives of many Southeast Texas senior citizens.

Whether SETX hospice volunteers offer a listening ear to patients and families, assist with daily household activities for Southeast Texas hospice care patients, provide grief support to family members, serve as a companion to seniors or their loved ones, or share their personal experiences to help promote the mission of hospice care in Southeast Texas, the time given to Harbor Hospice families by volunteers can be among the most rewarding experiences of their lives.

As a volunteer for Harbor Hospice’s Patient Care Services, Southeast Texas senior citizens “do good” every day. It takes a very special, caring person to give of themselves as unselfishly as hospice patient care volunteers.

If you’d like to be a part of the Harbor Hospice volunteer team, here are some examples of the activities you can assist with:

• Reading to a patient or holding a handStaying 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 – even doing a puzzle or quilting together

If you are a Southeast Texas senior who would like to volunteer, contact one of our wonderful local hospice agencies serving East Texas and the Golden Triangle.

We hope today’s edition Southeast Texas Senior Citizen Volunteer Opportunities was helpful for you or a friend.
