Make regular visits and provide companionship to hospice patients living in your community. The impact you make with your time and attention to patients at the end of their life is priceless.

Here are a few ways hospice volunteers can make an impact:

  • Offering companionship by sitting, playing games, walking, or reading with a patient
  • Playing music, sharing your artistic talents or sitting beside someone
  • Capturing life memories and legacy creation through scrapbooking, audio recording, or journaling...


Orientation Schedule and Visiting Schedule is flexible and will fit into your schedule.
