at Advent House, a 2-bed hospice home in Perinton. We are in need of
help giving bedside care to our Residents. We offer excellent
training, flexible scheduling, and the opportunity to be meeting and
working with other wonderful people in the community. For a
responsible and rewarding volunteer experience, please call Laurie

There is a warm welcome for volunteers at Advent House; without them

hope you will consider joining us.
