Get your 'Green Thumbs' geared for service! Horizon needs more volunteers to participate in our awesome flower program (Brown Deer / Mequon sites) once a week. Knowing that you are creating a bouquet of colorful flowers for our hospice patients is such a joyful, meaningful experience.
Volunteers who serve in this capacity do not need to have familiarity working with flowers! We have educated numerous volunteers on how to creatively repurpose bouquets. Please leave your phone number with us so we can reach out to you - you'll then see, first hand, how the power of flowers is the volunteer opportunity for you!
- All flowers are generously donated to Horizon by Trader Joe’s in Bayshore and Petals for Patients. We are truly appreciative for their support!

The idea of 'home' is central to Horizon. Home means different things to different people, but one thing it should always be is a place where we value each other. It's a place where people genuinely care about the comfort and security of others. We know our purpose is to give our patients home, whatever that means to them, wherever they are. More about Our Local Non-Profit Horizon Home Care & Hospice was established in 1990 and today serves as the second largest full service home care agency and hospice in Wisconsin.
