Volunteer Opportunities in Snellville

Take time out this holiday season to volunteer for some great organizations.

Embracing Hospice
Pet therapy volunteers

Do you have a well-mannered, lovable dog you would like to share to brighten someone's day? Embracing Hospice is recruiting volunteers with pets that either are pet therapy certified or are interested in becoming certified. Their "PAWS for Hospice" program provides great interaction for patients that need special attention and affection. Animals are a great way to provide relaxation, companionship, and physical touch. If you are interested or know someone who may be, contact Catherine Jones at (404) 659-0110 for more information or to sign up for their next training classes.
