Hospice volunteers are people who care. Some are nurses, clergy, or therapists, but most are people who want to help others and their community. People who want to volunteer for HospiceCare do not need special talents; they simply need to be willing to share their time with others.
Throughout the year, more than 400 people provide invaluable services to HospiceCare. From one-time commitments such as our annual Love Light Tree, to year-round activities such as home care or bulk mail, hospice volunteers always make a difference!
