Needs From: Volunteer Bismarck-Mandan

Provide joy to hospice patients and their families through pet therapy. Pete certification and vaccination are required. Love on a leash can provide licensure to pet. 

Sanford Hospice is looking for professional photographers to capture portraits of our patients and their families. Volunteers may also be asked to attend special events such as Veteran Pinning Ceremonies to photograph patients and provide them a document of the day. These photos are a treasure to a hospice family. Must have your own equipment. 

As part of the We Honor Veterans Program, we are looing for veterans who would like to visit with our veteran patients. Many veterans receiving hospice care appreciate connecting with volunteers who are also veterans, even if they served in a different time or place. 

Hospice Volunteers can help by staying with the patient while their caregivers take care of necessary errands. Caregivers also appreciate a visit from a compassionate friend who understands what they are going through. 

Music therapy creates an environment that reduces stress and anxiety while connecting patients to their favorite memories. Share your talents either through song or musical instruments to enhance our patients quality of life. Music therapy can be done in the patient's home or a hospice location. 

Many hospice patients are unable to leave home to go to a salon or barbershop to get a haircut. We need licensed cosmologists or barbers who can provide styling or haircuts to patients in their homes. 

Do you have a passion for helping others? If so then we need you to volunteer! Flexible schedule.
