COMMUNITY OF LIFE VOLUNTEERS<br />
IN PARTNERSHIP AT KISSITO CANE ISLAND<br />
Imagine if you had no one to share or even worse, you were limited in<br />
your ability to participate in the activities you love? Now, imagine how<br />
you would feel if someone volunteered to spend time with you and<br />
shared your enthusiasm? At Kissito Healthcare, we realize that when you<br />
make a difference in someone else’s life, you make a difference in your<br />
own. We recognize that our volunteers not only make a difference in the<br />
lives’ of our patients, they are the backbone of our Community of Life<br />
activities program.<br />
We invite you to be a part of the Volunteers in Partnership program at<br />
Kissito’s Cane Island facility in Katy, Texas. All of our programs and services<br />
serve a common goal: a better quality of life for the patient and ultimately<br />
isn’t that the goal we all have for ourselves? Kissito Cane Island is a post<br />
acute and long-term care facility.<br />
Here are just a few ways you can volunteer:<br />
• Like to read? Read to someone who has lost the gift of sight.<br />
• Like to play games? Our residents are always looking for participants.<br />
• Have a green thumb? Help us with our table top garden.<br />
• Got talent? Come entertain our residents and share your talent.<br />
• Do you love a party? Help with monthly events is always needed.<br />
• Got a friendly pooch? Ask how pet visits can boost a patients’ day.<br />
• Are you crafty? Help out with our arts and craft activities.<br />
• History Buff? Hear stories from those who were there.<br />
If you would like to volunteer your time and/or make a donation, please<br />
