Opportunity Details

Hospice Volunteer

If you are searching for a way to make a difference in the lives of others, you belong here!
From providing companionship at a patient's bedside to running errands or creating gifts for patients and their families, one of our volunteer coordinators will help you discover the best fit for you. Based on your interests and preferences you will recieve specific volunteer training to help improve the quality of life for others. 

THE TASKS OF VOLUNTEERS MAY INCLUDE:

  • Hold a hand, share a story, listen, read or sing
  • Run errands for patients and families or perform light houswork or gardening
  • Make gifts for patients such as flowers, baked goods or artwork
  • Provide a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
  • ​Send a card or make phone calls
  • Attend community events
  • Provide special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
     

* We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.

We consider our involvement with patients a sacred opportunity and a privilege to be in their lives. We depend on our hospice volunteers to help us provide the love, respect and care patients and their families need.
