Let's reconnect! Hospice Volunteers needed in the Community.

Save to Favorites

Choosing to be a hospice volunteer creates lifelong rewards. If you have ever had a loved one who has received hospice care, you may already understand the importance of the work we do. If you have not had a personal experience with hospice, you will soon learn the value provided to patients and families by our team.

Your gift of compassion brings comfort to patients and families. At Community Hospice, we work together with our volunteers to identify the role best suited for you. We provide one-on-one, intensive training to make sure you are comfortable in your position, ensuring your success and a greater impact to the patients and families we serve.

A wide variety of volunteer opportunities exist within our organization.
