**Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Hospice by the Bay. Unfortunately, due to the current coronavirus pandemic, our 2020 volunteer trainings have been cancelled until further notice. Presently, our current volunteers are not making in-person visits to our patient/families and it is uncertain as to when that will change. Meanwhile, we still invite you to inquire about volunteering or apply as a volunteer on our agency website below. We will contact you directly. **
