    Description

    Give the Gift of Companionship! - Hospice Volunteers Needed Across Phoenix 💜 (High Need in the West Valley)

    Seeking Compassionate Volunteers Valley wide, with an especially high need in the West Valley

    Do you have a kind heart and a little time to give?

    We are looking for caring volunteers to bring comfort, companionship, and connection to hospice patients throughout the Valley — with an urgent need in the West Valley including Phoenix, Surprise, Sun City, Sun City West, Peoria, Glendale, Avondale, Goodyear, and surrounding areas.

    Many of our patients simply want someone to talk to, listen to them, sit with them, share stories, play music, read, watch TV together, or remind them they are not alone during an important season of life.

    You do not need medical experience to volunteer.

    You simply need compassion. 💜

    Volunteer Opportunities Include:

    • Friendly patient visits
    • Conversation & companionship
    • Veteran-to-veteran visits
    • Pet therapy visits
    • Music visits
    • Tuck-in/support calls
    • Administrative support
    • Bereavement support
    • Special projects & events

    Why Volunteers Matter

    Hospice volunteers are often the highlight of a patient’s week. A single visit can reduce loneliness, ease anxiety, and bring joy and dignity to someone facing a life-limiting illness.

    Even visiting once a month can make a meaningful impact. We work with your schedule and try to place volunteers close to home whenever possible.

    Ideal Volunteers Are:

    • Compassionate and dependable
    • Good listeners
    • Comfortable providing emotional support and companionship
    • Looking to make a meaningful difference in their community
    • Students, retirees, veterans, professionals, caregivers, animal lovers, musicians, and community members of all backgrounds are welcome!

    What We Provide:

    • Training and ongoing support
    • Flexible scheduling
    • Meaningful one-on-one connections
    • Volunteer appreciation and community
    • The opportunity to truly change someone’s life

    No one should face the end of life feeling alone.

    Join us in bringing comfort, dignity, and human connection to hospice patients across the Valley. 💜
