    Description

    Do you have a caring heart and a few hours to give? Join our hospice team and bring comfort, companionship, and light to patients and families during one of life’s most important journeys.

    As a hospice volunteer, you might:

    • Visit with patients to provide friendship and a listening ear
    • Read, play music, or share simple activities
    • Help with seasonal projects and patient care kits
    • Support families and staff with small but meaningful tasks

    We provide full training and ongoing support—you don’t need medical experience, just compassion and a willingness to be present.

    What You’ll Gain:

    • The chance to bring comfort and joy to patients and families
    • A deeper sense of purpose and community
    • Training, mentorship, and connection with a team that values you

    Requirements:

    • Compassion and reliability
    • Ability to complete basic onboarding (training, paperwork, TB test)
    • Commitment of a few hours per month (flexible scheduling!)

    This is a truly rewarding opportunity—you’ll leave each visit knowing you’ve made a real difference.

    Next Steps:

    Apply today and help us create moments of peace, joy, and dignity for our patients. Together, we can bring light and love to those who need it most.
