NORTHAMPTON — Volunteering can help you find a new direction for your skills and energy.

Cooley Dickinson seeks volunteers to donate their time in the Coffee Shop and Gift Shop. The Coffee and Gift Shops raise funds for the CDH Auxiliary which helps fund vital patient care programs and services. In 2007, more than 300 volunteers gave over 32,000 hours of volunteer time to the hospital.

Greeters are also needed at the Information Desks. Typically, greeters welcome guests, answer general questions, push a wheelchair and do errands throughout the hospital.
