    Description

    Pet Therapy Can Brighten Someone's Day!

    There are lots of volunteer opportunities on this site, so thank you for considering our request!

    We are searching for people who are truly interested in making a difference in people’s lives. The simple act of presence and companionship can bring joy and comfort to a hospice patient and their family. Sharing time with another is mutually rewarding and is a highlight of the day for many of our patients. Sitting with a patient allows their loved ones a break in their routine and offers respite from the demanding roles that caregiving often requires. Just knowing there is another caring, compassionate person who visits regularly is a relief for the family and an opportunity to make a difference and matter in another’s world.

    Volunteer orientation will be provided, and a supportive staff will welcome you to our team. Please consider making a lasting impact in your community as a Residential Hospice Volunteer!

    Disclaimer: We are sorry, but we cannot accept any court ordered community service.
