Is there a way to volunteer in hospitals or nursing homes or hospice so that 
I can be there.

I'm trying to find a place that is on a bus route and things such as that, 
and I think I did talk to someone from Hospice and they have volunteers that 
go everywhere as people don't always end up in hospitals.  I did find out 
that you can't mention religion, at least that's what the person I talked to 
said.

Please tell me how I can serve.  Any ideas would be much appreciated.
