Hospice Volunteers

Hospice Mission

We are looking for that special someone who believes in our mission and wants to make a difference for the Hospice patient and their family.

Volunteers provide companionship to our patients and respite for the primary caregiver. Time commitments are approximately 1–3 hours per week and usually take place in the patient’s home or nursing home. On-going Training Classes are provided to all interested persons at no cost.

In addition, Hospice is also in need of clerical volunteers. Hours are flexible and we can work around the volunteer’s schedule.

The mission of hospice is to provide comfort, support and compassionate care to people with life-limiting illnesses and to their families in a manner that respects the dignity of each individual, and to foster community acceptance that dying is an integral part of living.
