    Imagine providing joy and comfort by simply being present with someone! Holding hands, reading a book, watching TV and listening to stories are all meaningful ways our volunteers support our patients.

    As a hospice volunteer, you will receive a sense of fulfillment in connecting with another human at such a sacred time, and a sense of awe at the preciousness and beauty of life!
