If you are compassionate, caring and loving, and have a calling to help others, becoming a Hospice Volunteer might be the perfect opportunity for you! Our volunteers give their time, talent, and hearts generously and unselfishly - yet comminly feel that they receive more then they give.
Volunteers may choose which location they would prefer to work and the hours they are willing to donate. The primary work of the volunteer is to provide companionship to the patient and/or provide caregiver relief. If you are a certified Pet Therapist or Certified Massage Therapist, you could also provide great comfort to our patients.
Volunteer opportunities take place throughout Hampshire County.
