Giving Back for the Holidays - Make Supportive Calls to Hospice Families

The holidays make us want to give back. Open your heart and support our families in need.

We are looking for caring people to make 10-15 Bereavement calls on a monthly basis from your own home to check in with those who have recently lost a loved one on hospice services with Samaritan.

Samaritan is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian agency caring for people suffering from serious and terminal illnesses and grief.

No computer skills required. No experience necessary!

Please note: All who have experienced the loss of a significant family member or friend must wait one year from date of loss to begin the volunteer process.

• Ongoing: Annual Education

• Condolence Call Volunteers making calls from our Marlton office also need the following:
  • Above requirements, plus Medical Clearance:
    • Initial and annual Tuberculosis test(paid for by Samaritan)
    • Titers to check immunity for chicken pox, measles, and German measles (immunity not required to volunteer)(paid for by Samaritan)
    • Annual flu vaccine

We ask that all volunteers bring the following qualities to their work at Samaritan: good communication and listening skills, a non-judgmental attitude, reliability, flexibility, and compassion.

Thank you for considering spending your valuable time with Samaritan and we look forward to hearing from you!
