    If you have a passion for caring for others and are looking for a way to make a difference in people’s lives, consider becoming a hospice volunteer. Hospice patients often face their final chapter with courage-but no one should face it alone. We're seeking compassionate volunteers to offer companionship, comfort, and a listening ear to those in hospice care. As a hospice volunteer you are an important part of our hospice care team, you can help improve the quality of life for our patients, their families and their caregivers.

    Currently looking for companisonship/socialization volunteers.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Share stories, laughter, and quiet moments
    • Offer emotional support and a calming presence
    • Help patients feel seen, heard, and valued

    No medical experience needed-just a kind heart and a little time.

    Whether you read aloud, play music, hold a hand, or simply sit in silence, your presence can bring peace and joy to someone who truly needs it.

    Flexible hours. Profound impact.

    Join us in honoring life, love, and dignity. Volunteer today-and be the reason someone smiles.
