    Description

    At ANX Hospice, we believe that no one should walk through life’s final chapter alone. Hospice volunteers are a vital part of our team—offering presence, comfort, and compassion when it matters most.

    What hospice volunteers do:

    • Visit patients to offer companionship and a listening ear
    • Share music, reading, or simple conversation
    • Support families with small acts of kindness
    • Assist with flower deliveries, administrative projects, or special programs
    • Bring dignity, peace, and connection to patients and loved ones

    Why volunteer with us?

    Because hospice is community engagement and showing up for each other.

    It’s about cherishing moments, honoring stories, and surrounding families with support. As a volunteer, you’ll touch lives in a way that is deeply meaningful—and discover how much those moments touch yours in return.

    Who can volunteer?

    • Adults of all ages and backgrounds who have a heart for service
    • Students seeking meaningful experience in healthcare, social work, psychology, or ministry
    • Retirees, professionals, or community members looking to make a difference

    Commitment:

    We ask that volunteers commit to at least 6 months of service to build trust, relationships, and continuity of care for our patients and families. Training and ongoing support are provided.

    Ready to begin?

    If you feel called to bring comfort and compassion when it matters most, we’d love to hear from you.

    Together, we can ensure that no one faces life’s final journey alone. 🌿
