Volunteers are a vital and necessary part of the Hospice team. Volunteers, along with other members of the Hospice team, help ensure quality of life for our Hospice patients and their families. Hospice volunteers are trained to support the Hospice clinical staff, patients and families during a difficult time of life.

Volunteer opportunities to provide direct patient care services include: respite, emotional support, assistance with household tasks, companionship, food preparation and feeding, reading, letter writing, life review, occasional shopping and errands.

Volunteer opportunities to provide indirect services include: office work, memorial service, mailings, special projects, and bereavement services.
