Happy National Volunteer Week!
A huge “thank you” to all Coastal Hospice Volunteers. You are an inspiring team, and without
people like you, we simply would not be able to do what we do as well as we do it! You
tirelessly share your time and talent with those in need. In the past year, as a group, you have
generously donated 16,957 hours of your precious time, equaling a value of $460,046.
With immeasurable generosity and selflessness, you have touched lives and lifted spirits. We
couldn’t do it without you.
Please join us April 14 or April 15 for brunch so we may personally thank and honor you for
dedicating your time and energy to something greater than yourself.

During the same period, patient support
volunteers logged 2,253 hours writing notes
and filing in patients charts. Supporting
Bereavement Services volunteers contacted
1,103 families.
Coastal Hospice patient care volunteers
visited 529 patients. This represents 2,752
patient care volunteer hours.
Volunteers supported our patients in many
ways, including offering a listening ear,
reading to patients, sharing stories and
running errands.
Without the support of our volunteers, we
would not be able to deliver the excellent level
of care to our patients. Thank you for sharing
your time, talents and treasures.

What Is National Volunteer Week?
Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week has grown exponentially in scope each year. It has drawn
the support and endorsement of all subsequent U.S. presidents, governors, mayors and other respected
elected officials. This year marks the 40th anniversary of National Volunteer Week, demonstrating the
enduring importance of recognizing our country’s volunteers, to include our wonderful Coastal Hospice
volunteers for their vital contributions.
National Volunteer Week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative
ways to engage in their communities. It’s about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, in
unison, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals.
National Volunteer Week is about taking action, encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change - discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to
foster positive transformation.
National Volunteer Week is about you and all you do for Coastal Hospice and your community.
Thank you for being in a special group called Coastal Hospice Volunteers.
