Covenant Hospice Offers New Volunteer Training In Century And Pensacola
July 9, 2014
Covenant Hospice is seeking individuals who are interested in making a difference in the lives of patients and families facing end-of-life issues and in supporting the organization. Training sessions for volunteers are upcoming in both Century and Pensacola.
A volunteer workshop will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday, July 26th, at the Century Chamber of Commerce at 7811 North Century Blvd. Workshops will also be held in the Pensacola area Monday, July 14 and Thursday, July 17 from noon to 4 p.m. on both days at the Pensacola branch office located at 2001 North Palafox Street. The workshops are free and open to the public. Food and drinks will be provided.
Patient and Family Support Volunteer Training will provide an overview of hospice care, including Covenant’s programs and services and the special roles that volunteers fill. This training prepares individuals to volunteer in a variety of ways. Volunteer choices include visiting and companionship for patients, supporting family members by offering emotional support and practical help, assisting with fundraising events, providing administrative support in a Covenant office, serving as an outreach ambassador and much more.
No special background or experience is required to volunteer for Covenant, just a desire to make a difference. Time commitment is flexible and based on volunteer availability. Retired and working professionals are also needed to share their expertise and experience with patients and families. To register or to learn more: call Barbara Fike for the Pensacola training at (850) 202-0924 and Sharon Oakes for the Century training at (850) 202-5948.

Covenant Hospice is a wonderful group of people who help and listen and do so much! Thanking everyone of them for what they do and have done!
I have been looking for the right place to volunteer some afternoon time and I believe this would be perfect for me. I no longer work. I have worked for a pharmacy for 9 years until last Oct. I don’t mind working with people and I truly love the elderly. I may need to begin doing some office work first or maybe during training I could find which area is most needed. However, I look forward to seeing you on July 14. Thank you.
