    Description

    Looking for Military Veterans to Work with Hospice Veterans

    You’ve stood beside your fellow service members when it mattered most. That kind of bond doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.

    Right now, fellow veterans in hospice care are facing their final chapter—many without the camaraderie and understanding only another veteran can provide. You can change that.

    By giving just one hour a week, you can offer companionship, share stories, listen, and simply be present. It’s not about medical care—it’s about connection. It’s about ensuring no veteran feels alone at the end of their life.

    Your time, your presence, and your shared experience can bring comfort, dignity, and peace to someone who once served, just like you.

    Stand with them again.

    Submit a volunteer application on our website www.goodshepherdhospice.com and we'll get right back with you. Or contact Heidi Masters at heidi.masters@goodshepherdhospice.com or 913-322-3297 for more information.

    Volunteer today and make a lasting difference in a fellow veteran’s life.
