As a volunteer, you can give a precious gift to adults or children
going through one of the toughest times of their lives. That
gift is you. Your smile. Your thoughtfulness. Your energy.
Our volunteers sit with patients during treatments, bring snacks
or drinks to them, provide pillows and warm blankets, distract
them, cheer them up, and offer encouragement to them. They’re
rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing they’ve made
someone’s life a bit better and maybe even with a renewed
appreciation for their own.
Other volunteer tasks might include being a librarian at either
of the Cancer Center libraries, helping to escort patients to
their appointments, assisting patient’s family members,
or helping with special events.
