    Hospice Companion Volunteer

    Be the Presence That Matters Most

    Some moments call for more than words. They call for presence, compassion, and human connection.

    As a Hospice Companion Volunteer, you provide comfort and dignity to individuals nearing the end of life by simply being there—offering companionship, listening, reading aloud, holding a hand, or sitting quietly when words aren’t needed. Your time becomes a powerful gift to both patients and their families.

    What You’ll Do

      • Offer one-on-one companionship to hospice patients
      • Provide emotional support through conversation, attentive listening, or quiet presence
      • Engage in simple, meaningful activities like reading, music, or reminiscing
      • Bring calm, reassurance, and dignity

    Why Your Role Matters

      • Many patients face loneliness—your presence changes that
      • Families gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is not alone
      • You help ensure every person is seen, valued, and respected at the end of life

    What We Provide

      • Comprehensive training and ongoing support
      • Flexible scheduling based on your availability
      • A deeply meaningful experience that stays with you long after your visit

    Who We’re Looking For

    If you are compassionate, patient, and open to connecting with others, this role may be for you.

    Take the First Step

    If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity that truly makes a difference, this is it. Your presence can bring comfort, dignity, and peace when it’s needed most.

    Join us. Be the companion who matters.
