Volunteer Testimonal
"I'm not a doctor. I'm not a nurse, but what I can bring is a smile, hope, encouragement. I've even made a few new friends. It's my favorite part of the day. I get to be part of something bigger than myself."
— Tracy, Lynchburg General Hospital Volunteer
Hospice Volunteer
"Over the years I have had many powerful experiences visiting patients in nursing facilities and in their homes. I consider abiding with our patients to be very important, especially in the nursing homes when many times there is no family present. But I also feel the important of supporting the Caregivers, especially in the home. I know firsthand how difficult and exhausting it can be; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually...It's an honor and a privilege to just hold a hand, or read a lovely poem...or sing a favorite hymn."
— Maxine Hollinger
