Volunteers are needed to serve hospice patients and families who live in facilities and private homes in Delaware, Chester, Montogomery and Bucks counties in Pennsylvania.

The only qualification required is your desire to help someone in need. You don't need any medical skills; you don't even need a college degree and you don't even need to know what to say. All you need to do is sign up for our hospice volunteer training program.

Patient visits can include reading to patients, reminiscing, helping with correspondence, hand massage, playing board games, running errands, playing music, craft activities.

Bring comfort and companionship to someone at the end of their journey.
