Hair Stylist
Most of our patients can’t leave their home, nursing facility, or hospice house. We have a great need for licensed cosmetologists willing to donate just a little of their time (perhaps an hour or two per month) to cut hair in the patient’s residence.
We’ll provide you with some basic hospice training. Whenever possible, we match volunteers with patients in their geographical area. You also have full flexibility to schedule with the patient and family when it's convenient for you.
A haircut can make you feel amazing and brighten your day. Please help us provide a great service (and a little pampering!) to a very grateful person and their loved ones.
