Compassionate Volunteers Wanted in Bend Area

Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference? Join us in providing companionship for our Bristol Hospice Bend patients. Spend time engaging in activities they enjoy—or simply be a comforting presence as part of a caring team dedicated to enriching the lives of patients and their families.

Every conversation has the power to bring light into someone’s life. Companionship visits bring moments of comfort, connection, and hope for patients nearing the end of life. By sharing stories and heartfelt conversations, you can remind someone that they are seen, valued, and never alone. If you feel called to make a difference in this meaningful way, join us. We’ll guide you through training and welcome you to the Bristol Hospice Bend Volunteer Team, where your presence can truly change lives.

We can tailor your volunteer gifts to work directly with patients as a companion, help create a memory journal, read poetry or just hold someone's hand, to name a few.
