April 2023 – Volunteer Month

This month Good Shepherd Hospice celebrates National Volunteer Month. Hospice volunteers are dedicated people who work to make a difference in other people’s lives serving them with compassion and care. At GSH our volunteers volunteer because…

1. “It gives me something to do, a sense of purpose and belonging” – Tricia, Volunteer
2. “Because we want to give back and help others.” – Jessica and Julia, Oklahoma City Special Project Volunteers
3. “I volunteer because I want to give back to the community” – Shante Welsh, retired from the United States Air Force, Administrative Volunteer & Patient Care Volunteer
4. “When I was in high school because I wanted to help and also learn office skills for when I am older and looking for a job.” – Julia, Volunteer
5. “It helps the community and gives me a sense of belonging to an organization since I retired.” – Volunteer Linda, Remembrance Bear Volunteer and Administrative Volunteer
6. “It makes my heart happy when I sees what my presence brings to someone who is alone.”- Ms. Pat, Vigil Volunteer (Trained end of life care volunteer), San Antonio

GSH volunteers serve from the kindness of their hearts. Why do you volunteer?
