Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are essential to hospice patients and their families.

Bring what makes you special to this special work.

• Support for patients. This can include visiting, reading, taking walks, writing letters, bringing in music, supervising visits with pets, even massage therapy for volunteers with the necessary skills.

• Respite and support for family members. Volunteers can assist with household chores, help prepare meals, provide light housework or allow family caregivers the opportunity to
  take care of errands or rest.

• Grief support. Hospice volunteers can work closely with our professional grief support staff by assisting as a support group facilitator, befriending a hospice family or helping
  with mailings to families.

• Fundraising and administrative work. A volunteer with clerical skills can help with simple office tasks, answer phones, assist with fundraising events or input data.

• Wings Home volunteer. The Wings Home is a four-bedroom charitable home for Wings of Hope Hospice patients in the
  last stages of terminal illness. Most of the daytime caregivers in the home are volunteers. Caregivers attend to patients’ personal care needs, meals, medications and general comfort level.
