Hospice of the Golden Isles Celebrates National Volunteer Month

April 11, 2023 (Brunswick, Ga.) – April is National Volunteer Month, and Hospice of the Golden Isles is dedicated to promoting and celebrating volunteerism. Volunteers are diverse and special members of the community, offering companionship and a listening ear to patients and family members.

Recently, Hospice of the Golden Isles hosted an appreciation event for volunteers that was held at The Rooftop at Ocean Lodge, where attendees enjoyed a luncheon with a message of appreciation.

Paula DiLandro, Executive Director at Hospice of the Golden Isles said, “In 2022, the number of hours volunteers provided to patients and families was 3,169. This time saved Hospice of the Golden Isles $73,710.24 in expenses. This is just one reason why volunteers are critically important to a non-profit’s mission.”
