Monday, March 13, 2017

JANESVILLE, Wis. – Agrace Hospice & Palliative Care, Janesville’s nonprofit community hospice, has several fulfilling volunteer opportunities that allow you to give back, brighten a life and make a positive difference.

Agrace invites the community to learn more about volunteer roles and opportunities at a volunteer fair that will be held Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to noon at Agrace’s Janesville Thrift Store, located at 2043 Humes Rd. Staff and current volunteers will be on hand to discuss Agrace’s volunteer roles.

Agrace needs additional volunteers now. The most immediate volunteer needs include:

• Sort and price donations for sale, use the internet to research more valuable donations and operate the cash register at our Janesville Thrift Store.
• Greet visitors at the reception desk at our Janesville inpatient unit.
• Assist with maintenance of the gardens at Agrace’s Janesville inpatient unit.
• Provide companionship to patients staying at our inpatient unit.
• Visit patients living in Janesville and surrounding communities by providing companionship and helping caregivers run errands and assist with basic housekeeping.

Other specialized volunteer roles are also in high demand and Agrace is looking for volunteers with pet therapy dogs, cosmetology licenses and those who have talents in music and art.

Prospective volunteers who cannot attend the volunteer fair can contact Agrace’s Volunteer Services Team at (608) 327-7163 or visit agrace.org/volunteer.
