There are many ways to help as a hospice volunteer. We help you find the right fit for your unique interests, talents and abilities.

Veterans blankets, Fidget blankets, Memory bears, Birthday cards…the list goes on and on with the many ways our talented volunteers share their gifts with our patients! We welcome new ideas of handmade items to lift the spirits of our patients. If you have an idea of something you'd like to share, please let us know.
Office Support/Administrative
Volunteers do amazing work behind the scenes to help with special projects such as creating patient education folders, helping staff phones, stocking items or assisting with computer projects. We'll help you find the right project work that interests you!
Pet/Animal Assisted Therapy
Our four-legged friends and their volunteer handlers bring joy and reduce anxiety for patients, families and teammates through our animal assisted therapy program. Dogs and other animals must be certified for animal assisted (pet) therapy and visit to homes and facilities where our patients reside. They are beloved by all!
