TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - Big Bend Hospice is searching for volunteers to help families in our community.

Wednesday on Second Cup, Katie Mandell explains the different ways you can volunteer.

When most people hear hospice volunteer, they think of someone in the final stages of life.

Only 5% of volunteers are vigil volunteers.

The majority of volunteers provide companionship, respite to caregivers, or office assistance.

Big Bend Hospice is looking for volunteers in all of the counties, but there is an urgent need in Gadsden County.

Orientations are scheduled 8/2 is from 5:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m. at 216 N. Adams Street in Quincy and 8/25 is from 9 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. at 1723 Mahan Center Blvd. in Tallahassee.
