What’s It Like To Be A Partners Volunteer?
You can make a difference in the lives of Hospice Patients and their families.
As a Hospice Volunteer, you can choose to work with individuals and their families by giving the gifts of compassion and emotional support.
You may also choose activities such as running errands, walking a pet, assisting with clerical functions, or involvement with the fundraising team. Whatever path you choose, your efforts will enhance the quality of life for those we serve and give you a deep sense of personal gratification.
