    Make a Meaningful Difference in Someone’s Final Journey

    Are you looking for a way to give back and bring comfort to others during one of life’s most important moments?

    We are seeking compassionate, reliable, and caring individuals to join our hospice volunteer team. As a volunteer, you will be a source of companionship, peace, and support to patients and families navigating end-of-life care.

    What You'll Do:

    • Provide companionship through friendly visits, conversation, reading, music, or simply being present.
    • Offer emotional support to patients and families.
    • Assist with light tasks such as running errands or writing letters.
    • Support staff with administrative help (optional).
    • Be a comforting presence during moments that matter most.

    Flexible Scheduling:

    We ask that volunteers commit to at least 2 visits per week, but more is always welcome if you're able. We’ll work with your schedule to find times that are convenient for you-including evenings or weekends.

    Requirements:

    • Must be 18 years or older.
    • Complete a short orientation and background check.
    • Be kind, patient, and respectful of all beliefs and backgrounds.
