Volunteer Opportunities

Choose a volunteer opportunity that’s right for you.

Our volunteers share their unique gifts and talents to offer support, companionship and compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting.

• Running errands for patients and families
• Bereavement and spiritual active listening
• Companionship visits with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
• Reading, or providing a comforting presence
• Playing or singing soothing music to patients
• Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
• Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
• We offer training, to help educate volunteers about what hospice is, the services it provides and what the role of the volunteer is.

Volunteer Training

The training program covers all aspects of hospice so the volunteer is knowledgeable and comfortable and will be prepared to be with patients and their families.

Volunteer your time to make a difference to a cause that matters to you- the quality of life and well-being of patients and families.

Group Volunteering Campaign

Is your workplace looking for meaningful ways to give back in your community? Do you belong to a group that is looking for a holiday season project to help someone in need (churches, businesses, schools, scout troops, and other community groups)?
