This FREE program prepares you to help families who are caring for a loved one in their final stages of life. Hospice volunteers help in many ways: reading to clients, light house keeping walking the dog, or just relieving family caregivers to take a much needed break. As a non-profit, Pemi-Baker Community Health also benefits from volunteer help with their fundraising and events. Most volunteers help 2-4 hours per month. Join us!

Among the quieter White Mountain Voices are those of working women. During the US Civil War, Tamar M. C. Sinclair (1828 – 1872) kept a busy staging inn in Bethlehem NH. Her husband was frequently away, busy with business and political interests. She ran the inn, raised three children, hiked up Mt. Washington and kept a diary. Thanks to her diary, Tamar’s voice still speaks to us from over 150 years ago.
