LITTLE RIVER, SC – McLeod Hospice is offering a new “Hospice Volunteering 101” class for persons interested in helping Hospice patients and/or assisting the Hospice support staff in Horry County.
Volunteers may make deliveries to patients’ homes or provide companionship by visiting patients in their homes. Volunteers may also read a book, sing, or provide additional support for the patient’s caregiver(s). A life-limiting illness can be devastating and have far-reaching effects. Patients and their families need a solid support system during this time of crisis.
The volunteer training program will be held on Saturday, December 3rd, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Center for Health & Fitness located at 3207 Casey Street, Loris, SC. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided during the training.Attendees must register in advance if they plan to participate in the training.
