    Touching A Life: Hospice Volunteer Opportunities

    For patients on hospice care, volunteers play an essential role. Whether you are simply being present with a patient or helping behind the scenes, volunteers help create trusting bonds and meaningful memories for hospice patients and their loved ones.

    Just as volunteers are important to hospice patients, hospice patients make service work rewarding for volunteers. Hospice volunteers provide comfort, compassion and care for people as they near the end of life.

    Volunteering Opportunities

    • Remote Volunteering Opportunities: Pen pal, Tuck-in-Calls
    • Administrative: Support hospice office operations, write birthday cards, call or answer the phone
    • Bereavement: Support family members who have lost a loved one, write cards, make phone calls
    • Direct Patient Support: Visit and support patients one-on-one, offer companionship or caregiver respite
