Helping Others Through Volunteering

Liz Karlowicz, a retired special education teacher, has spent the last 10 years volunteering with Caring Circle.

“My entire career path was focused on helping others. I feel that is my life’s purpose. So subsequently, volunteering fits my journey,” Liz shared.

Liz and her shih tzu, Chloe, provided pet therapy to hospice patients in local nursing homes. After Chloe’s passing, Liz now focuses her time on "friendly visits" with hospice patients, talking about their favorite memories.

Caring Circle is always seeking compassionate people to volunteer and help make a difference in the lives of clients and their families. No medical knowledge is required, and all necessary training is provided by Caring Circle.

Volunteer opportunities include friendly visits, pet therapy, meal preparation, advance care planning facilitators and many other roles that match your interests and talents.

"Hospice took such wonderful care of both of my parents and guided our family through such a peaceful goodbye. I wanted to help others through this journey by volunteering." - Liz Karlowicz
