Do you have a heart for singing and a soul for service? Hospice of the Chesapeake invites community members to lend their voices to a new and deeply meaningful volunteer opportunity — Hospice Harmonies choir. This is a bedside singing program designed to bring peace and comfort through song to patients and families.
No professional singing experience is required—just a love of music and a desire to offer comfort. All volunteers will receive training.
“Music has the unique ability to soothe, connect and bring peace,” said Heather Conner, Volunteer Services Manager at Hospice of the Chesapeake. “With Hospice Harmonies, we’re creating sacred, gentle moments through song—moments that offer reassurance and warmth to patients and their families when they’re needed most.”
Volunteers will practice weekly on Thursdays at the John & Cathy Belcher Campus in Pasadena, Maryland, alternating between noon and 6 p.m. sessions.
This is more than a volunteer opportunity—it’s a way to bring joy, dignity, and connection to someone at the end of life.
