Choose to Make A Difference! Volunteer close to home at hours convenient to you!
Hospice Volunteers have the opportunity to make a profound difference in the quality of life for patients and their families.
We are searching for volunteers who are passionate about making this difference for patients and their families today.
Volunteer opportunities include Visiting Companions (Non-medical Friendly Visiting), Music Companions (live or recorded music for entertainment & relaxation), Together We Serve (volunteer in teams of 2) patient visits, or We Honor Veterans (visit with a Vet). Volunteers in Chicago and surrounding areas are especially needed.
No experience is necessary. Training and support are provided. We serve patients at home or in Skilled Nursing Care, in 16 counties of the greater Chicago area. Volunteer assignments are close to where you live or work at hours convenient to you.
If you have a compassionate heart and a willingness to learn, we want to talk to you.
