McLeod Hospice is offering a new volunteer training program for those interested in helping hospice patients.

It will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday at the McLeod Hospice House, 1203 E. Cheves St., Florence.

Volunteers may make deliveries to patients’ homes or provide companionship by visiting patients either in their homes or at the Hospice House. They may also provide massage therapy, pet therapy or music therapy to patients. Some volunteers perform clerical work, bake or sew for patients/families or provide gardening skills at the Hospice House.

Attendees must register in advance if they plan to participate in the training.

McLeod Hospice serves Florence, Darlington, Marion, Dillon and Lee counties.

For more information or to register, call Andrea Mozingo, volunteer coordinator for McLeod Hospice, at (843) 777-2994 or (843) 777-2564.
