Volunteer Helping Hands, CaringMatters patient and family program, offers short-term, practical, social and emotional support for people of all ages with a serious illness and no reasonable prospect of a cure.
CaringMatters is a non-medical hospice, who carefully matches the needs of the patients and families with the appropriate caregiver.
All volunteers must go through our general three-day volunteer training and complete a background check. Following training, volunteers will be matched with a patient or family to provide non-medical care such as transportation, running errands, respite care or simply provide companionship and friendship.
We are in great need for volunteers in the Silver Spring area, as well as volunteers who speak other languages. However, we welcome all who are interested in volunteering. Services are provided in homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes.

We do not offer SSL hours for this volunteer opportunity. Volunteers need to be 21 or older.
