Hospice Pen Pal

Metro West Hospice-Marlborough, MA

✉️ Volunteer Opportunity: Hospice Pen Pal Volunteer

Metro West Hospice

A letter can bring comfort that lasts far beyond the moment it’s read.

Metro West Hospice is seeking Pen Pal Volunteers to exchange letters, cards, or notes with hospice patients who enjoy written connection. This unique volunteer role offers companionship, encouragement, and meaningful human connection—often from the comfort of your own home.

What Does a Hospice Pen Pal Volunteer Do?

Pen Pal Volunteers provide support by:

    • Writing friendly letters, notes, or cards to hospice patients
    • Sharing simple stories, reflections, or thoughtful messages
    • Offering companionship and emotional connection through written words
    • Helping reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness
    • Bringing comfort, joy, and a sense of being remembered

All correspondence is coordinated through Amedisys Hospice to ensure privacy, safety, and patient preference.

Why Volunteer as a Hospice Pen Pal?

    • Make a meaningful impact in a quiet, personal way
    • Flexible, remote volunteering—perfect for busy schedules
    • Ideal for volunteers who prefer writing over in‑person visits
    • Receive free hospice volunteer training and guidance
    • Be part of a compassionate, mission‑driven hospice team

✅ Who Is a Good Fit for This Role?

    • Compassionate, dependable adults (18+)
    • Enjoy writing and thoughtful communication
    • Able to maintain confidentiality and appropriate boundaries
    • Respectful of diverse cultures, beliefs, and life experiences
    • Willing to complete required training, background check, and health screening

No hospice or medical experience is required.

Location- Remote/Virtual

Pen Pal volunteer opportunities are available through Beacon Hospice programs. Most participation is remote, with letters coordinated by the hospice team.

Share Comfort—One Letter at a Time

If you believe words matter and want to offer kindness, connection, and comfort through writing, we would love to welcome you as a Hospice Pen Pal Volunteer.

Contact: Tamara Fuller, Regional Volunteer Coordinator
