This Spring Share Your Compassion - Make Supportive Calls to Hospice Families

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, progressive illness 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.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• Minimum Age: 18
• One-year commitment
• Volunteer Orientation and Training
• 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
    • Initial health screen

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!
