Community Hospice has scheduled a two-day volunteer orientation training session from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 19 and 20 at the Hospice office at 1480 Carter Ave.
Although volunteers are needed for a variety of duties, there is a particular need for those interested in providing short, in-home caregiver breaks, emotional support and companionship visitation, nursing home visits, chaplains providing spiritual support, military vet-to-vet visits and at the care center as a greeter/receptionist or working with the hospitality cart. Volunteers determine when and how often they are available to assist. All volunteers must complete the required training to be certified. Space is limited to allow for social distancing. Masks are required.

Clayture Ceramics launched in 2019 with handcrafted ceramic dishes such as plates, bowls and mugs.
