Our volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform.

• Helping with office support tasks at the agency
• Running errands for patients and families
• Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
• Reading, or providing a comforting touch
• Playing or singing soothing music to patients
• Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
• Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
• Providing special veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans

* We suggest volunteers wait a minimum of one year following the death of a loved one to volunteer. This allows adequate time to make appropriate adjustments after a significant personal loss.
