Volunteers don’t have to come with special skills or talents!
Anyone who’s a good listener with a good heart, with a good heart and good boundaries has something valuable to offer as a hospice volunteer. Whether it’s sitting bedside and reading a book or the newspaper, listening to music, performing light housekeeping, or simply just chatting, you can make a real and immediate difference to our clients and their loved ones.
Just as important, the simple act of showing up with kindness and working alongside others can be profoundly enriching for the volunteer.
Visit can be flexible according to your availability - we usually prefer our volunteers see our patients weekly or biweekly for around an hour.
Reach out and talk with Hannah about walking alongside someone on their late-life journey!

Mission Statement
At Favoured Hospice, our mission is to redefine end-of-life care by setting new standards for comfort, dignity, and individualized support. We aim to be the leading provider of compassionate hospice services, ensuring that every individual receives the specialized medical care and emotional support they need. Our commitment is to enhance each individual’s final journey, making it as peaceful and meaningful as possible.
Description
Volunteers are a vital part of our dedicated hospice team. By offering a few hours of their time a month, they bring peace, joy, and comfort to individuals navigating the last chapter of their life.
Volunteer roles: Companionship, pet therapy, card making, hairstylist, music, and vigil.
Service area: We serve patients throughout Minnesota wherever they consider home. This could be a long-term care center, assisted living, group home, private home, etc. Most of our current patients reside in Champlin, Ramsey, Plymouth, Minnetonka, Bloomington, and Monticello, but we are always continuing to grow and expand!
Time commitment/schedule: Flexible to your schedule! Visits can be made during the week or weekend. We usually ask that our companion/friendly visit volunteers visit weekly or every other week for about an hour.
