Longleaf Hospice is seeking volunteers to serve patients and families dealing with a life-limiting illness across the metro area. Volunteers are a crucial element to the Longleaf Hospice team, bringing an extra layer of care and support to patients and their loved ones. At Longleaf, volunteers help make patients' and caregivers' lives easier.
Longleaf is seeking compassionate, caring, and dedicated volunteers to offer
• Patient Support - reading, talking, taking walks, writing letters, making phone calls, running errands, playing games, engaging in a special project, and building friendships;
• Caregiver Respite - providing relief and peace of mind for the caregivers to have time to care for themselves and run errands, go to appointments, visit with friends, participate in support group meetings, or attend religious services.
For more information, contact Kirsten Black, Volunteer Coordinator, at (770) 939-9179 or email kirsten.black@longleafhospice.com.
Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners. If you have questions or need help contact us at ecarter@rccatl.org
