Volunteers are vital to our mission.
Volunteers founded our organization in 1981, and more than four decades later, they remain at the heart of the care we provide.
We invite you to join our volunteer team and become part of a compassionate community dedicated to supporting patients and families during some of life’s most meaningful moments. With a variety of programs and roles available, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life. Some work full time, some are retired, and others volunteer while attending school. No matter your schedule or stage of life, we work with you to find an opportunity that fits.
While training is required, we make the process welcoming and straightforward, providing the guidance and support you need to feel confident and prepared as a Hospice Care Plus volunteer.
Getting started is easy.
Call or email us. You can call us during regular work hours to talk about volunteer opportunities, or send an email to volunteer@hospicecp.org.
Submit our Volunteer Application. If you know you want to volunteer, feel free to go ahead and complete a volunteer application. We’ll reach out to you once it’s reviewed.

Here are just some of the ways you can be part of our care and services.
Volunteers are matched with patients and caregivers who need a little extra support. They may call to check on them, agree to visit every couple of weeks for companionship, or give the caregiver a break for a few hours. Volunteers in this role may bring special skills to the match, such as scrapbooking, that come in handy in working with a caregiver or patient. Care and companionship volunteers might agree to one-time matches for a simple task, like running an errand, or commit to a long-term match involving ongoing visits.

To Be Thanked for His Service
Honoring those who have served our country is one of our greatest joys. Not everyone understands how important it can be for a veteran to be formally recognized for their service, especially as the end of life nears.
To Have Coffee with an Old Friend
When we ask our patients what’s most important to them or what’s on their minds, what we are trying to do is learn. We can’t meet a need that we haven’t learned about. Many needs are relatively obvious and easy to meet: a walker for support, a new medication to treat a new symptom, for instance. Other needs take time to reveal themselves, but they are no less important.
