    Description

    A hospice volunteer is someone who wants to truly make a difference. Our volunteers play a vital role in supporting patients and families by offering companionship, emotional support, and a compassionate presence during a meaningful time of life.

    Hospice volunteers help bring comfort, dignity, and moments of joy to individuals facing serious illness. Whether through conversation, quiet presence, or simple acts of kindness, volunteers provide support that deeply enriches both those they serve and themselves.

    Volunteer Opportunities May Include:

    • Offering companionship and emotional support to patients
    • Providing comfort and reassurance to families
    • Sharing conversation, reading, music, or quiet presence
    • Supporting the hospice care team as needed

    Why Volunteer With Us:

    • Make a lasting, meaningful impact in your community
    • Experience personal growth and fulfillment
    • Be part of a compassionate, mission-driven hospice team
    • Receive training and ongoing support

    The rewards of hospice volunteering are powerful and profound—as we care for others, we are often changed ourselves.
