    🌻 Now Recruiting: Hospice Companionship Volunteer 🌻

    Make a difference close to home — or just down the road.

    We are currently seeking compassionate volunteers to provide companionship visits to hospice patients living in rural communities outside of Wichita. Volunteers offer friendship, conversation, and a comforting presence to patients and families during an important time in their journey.

    💜 What You’ll Do:

    • Visit patients in their homes to provide emotional support and companionship
    • Read aloud, share stories, play music, or simply sit together in peaceful silence
    • Offer caregiver relief by spending time with the patient

    📍 Where:

    Rural communities within a 60-mile radius of Wichita — we’ll work with you to match visits to your preferred travel distance.

    🕐 Time Commitment:

    Flexible — even 1–2 hours a week can make a lasting impact.

    Reach Out: Contact our Volunteer Coordinator to express your interest.

    Interview: Schedule a brief interview to learn more about the role and ask any questions.

    Complete Requirements: Fill out an application, background check, TB test, and online training.

    Get Matched: Once onboarding is complete, we’ll match you with a patient in a rural area that fits your availability and comfort level.

    Make a Difference: Begin visiting and providing meaningful companionship to patients and families.
