Hospice Volunteers needed : Make a difference in your community

Save to Favorites

Community Hospice volunteers are diverse and special members of our community. Our Volunteer Services department works closely with all volunteers to match their talents and skills with current needs in the best way possible. Volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team, filling roles that range from direct contact with patients to providing clerical and fundraising support for the organization. Volunteers fill the gap between loved ones and professional caregivers.

Volunteering for hospice can be a rewarding and emotional experience. Hospice providers require a lot from their volunteers and value them greatly. Many volunteers say their service to hospice is gratifying, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally meaningful.

Depending on the patient’s and family’s needs, volunteers may help by sitting and talking, reading aloud, taking walks, writing letters, listening to music, or playing games. Volunteers may assist with shopping or light household maintenance, or give family caregivers a chance to run errands or practice self-care.

We currently serve families in Southern New Hampshire and Concord area.
