ORGANIZATION: Virginia Mason Franciscan Hospice and Palliative Care

leaned over thinking

As humans, we want to experience joy, friendship, and delight even through our final days. You have everything you need within you to offer these experiences to our patients. We offer training and coaching to help you know how.

If you find yourself seeking an opportunity to engage with the world in a way that will grow you, deepen you, and bring a sense of fulfilment to your life, this is it.

Franciscan Hospice Volunteers provide compassionate presence for our patients, all of whom are within 6 months of dying.

Sitting at the bedside, providing respite for caregivers, walking dogs, reading aloud or delivering audio books, singing songs, playing music, and capturing a patient's life story in writing are ways Hospice volunteers enrich the lives of our patients.

If you are interested in bringing joy to others, we would love to hear from you.

We are seeking volunteers throughout Kitsap County.
