Hospice Needs Special Friends
Hospice volunteers become a friend to the Hospice patient and members of the family. Tasks may include staying with patients to relieve family members, shopping, running errands, or just being a special friend.
Our training program gives you the skills for your special role. The time commitment is based on your schedule. If you have two hours a week, a free evening, or time on weekends-we can use you!
The risks and joys of being a Hospice volunteer are the risks and joys of being a friend.

Hospice is the MOST REWARDING thing I have ever done - I have gotten more from the families and patients than I have ever given to them. It is a passion in my heart and I will continue to do Hospice till my time here is thru.
