Valley City, N.D.—December 31, 2012—Hospice of the Red River Valley seeks volunteers to provide friendly, companionship visits to the people we serve.

Volunteers with Hospice of the Red River Valley choose how they would like to help provide compassionate end-of-life care to patients and their families, through running errands, doing light housekeeping, fixing meals or providing companionship visits. Other volunteer opportunities include helping out in the office or at Hospice special events.

“Volunteers don’t need a degree or specialized training as health care professionals,” explains Jodi Rae Ingstad, volunteer coordinator with Hospice of the Red River Valley. “They don’t even have to have the right words to say. They just need an open heart and the willingness to donate their time.”
