    Description

    Volunteer Hospice Companions Needed

    Some journeys shouldn’t be walked alone.

    We are seeking dedicated volunteers who are willing to commit their time, heart, and presence to hospice patients—not just as visitors, but as companions, friends, and extended family during one of life’s most meaningful chapters.

    What This Role Is About

    Hospice volunteering is not about medical care.

    It’s about human connection.

    As a volunteer companion, you may:

    Sit and talk, or simply sit in silence

    Listen to stories, memories, or concerns

    Read aloud, play music, or watch a favorite show

    Offer comfort, reassurance, and presence

    Become a familiar, caring face someone looks forward to seeing

    Often, your presence is the gift.

    Who We’re Looking For

    We are seeking volunteers who are:

    Compassionate, patient, and emotionally present

    Willing to form genuine connections

    Comfortable offering companionship to those at end of life

    Reliable and committed to regular visits

    Open to being a steady source of kindness and friendship

    No prior hospice experience is required—training and support are provided.

    Why Volunteer?

    Make a profound difference in someone’s final days

    Provide comfort to patients who may feel isolated or alone

    Gain perspective, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for life

    Be part of a caring, supportive hospice team

    Experience meaningful, heart-centered service

    Your Time Matters

    Even a few hours a month can bring comfort, dignity, and peace to someone who needs it most.

    Join Us

    If you feel called to be a companion, a listener, a friend, or chosen family—we would be honored to have you.
