    Description

    Military Veterans: Continue Serving Through Hospice Volunteer Work

    Veteran Volunteers Needed: Honor Those Who Served

    The bond between veterans is unlike any other. As a Level 4 We Honor Veterans hospice program, we're seeking veteran volunteers to support fellow veterans receiving end-of-life care.

    Whether through conversation, shared memories, or simply being present, your service can bring comfort, dignity, and connection when it matters most.

    As a Veteran Volunteer, You May:

    • Visit veteran hospice patients for companionship and support
    • Participate in veteran recognition and pinning ceremonies
    • Support special veteran-focused events and initiatives
    • Offer understanding rooted in shared military experience

    What We Ask:

    • Flexible commitment—typically 1–2 visits per month
    • Service opportunities throughout the Kansas City metro and at John Knox Village
    • Compassion, reliability, and respect for confidentiality

    No hospice experience is required. We provide comprehensive training, ongoing support, and We Honor Veterans education.

    This is an opportunity to continue serving in a meaningful way—ensuring that no veteran faces the end of life alone and that every veteran is honored for their service.

    Join us in making a lasting difference.
