Hospice (right across the Spur)
Hospice needs students to "adopt a desk". Volunteer desks are often left unattended during lunch, nights and weekends. This is a great organization to work for and they are within walking distance of the University. Contact is Judy Griffin and her number is 903-266-3400 Ext. 128.
PATH
