    Description

    Are you an active-duty service member or military spouse looking for a meaningful way to give back?

    We are seeking members of the military community to volunteer with hospice patients and help us honor veterans during one of the most important chapters of their lives.

    Your understanding of military life, service, sacrifice, and family can create a special connection with veteran patients. Sometimes, a conversation, a shared story, or simply being present can remind a veteran that their service is still remembered and deeply appreciated.

    As a volunteer, you may:

    • Spend time providing companionship to veteran patients
    • Listen to stories and memories from their time in service
    • Participate in veteran recognition and pinning ceremonies
    • Help with veteran-focused events and special projects
    • Offer support and connection to patients and families

    No medical experience is required. Training and ongoing support are provided, and scheduling is flexible to accommodate military life, work, school, and family responsibilities.

    You don’t have to wear the same uniform to understand the meaning of service. 🇺🇸

    Help us make sure every veteran feels seen, honored, and remembered.
