Pine Tree Hospice volunteers are available to families who are experiencing end of life challenges. Volunteers provide respite, emotional support, companionship, do errands, assist with light housekeeping and meals, and help families "fill in the gaps" that exist, so that the challenges of caring for a loved one are shared and lessened.
