Volunteer

Volunteers in this role support our administrative and clinical staff by covering shifts at the Compassionate Care Center front desk. Shifts typically range from one to four hours. Front desk volunteers answer phones, greet visitors, and assist with tasks such as making copies, watering plants, organizing the snack cart, and other light administrative duties.

Administrative volunteers may also help with filing, scanning, and more IT related tasks based on interest and skill set. 

In this program, veteran volunteers use their own military experience to support and honor veteran patients. As part of our participation in the national We Honor Veterans partnership, volunteers are trained to provide one-on-one recognition presentations, thanking veteran patients for their service and sacrifice.

Veteran volunteers may also be matched with veteran patients to offer understanding, shared connection, and meaningful companionship.

We welcome volunteers with a wide range of special skills and talents, including music, photography, crafting, art, hair styling or barbering, massage therapy, pet therapy, and other creative or professional abilities. These unique skills help enrich the experience of patients and families in meaningful ways.

Volunteers who assist with mowing, planting, weeding, and other outdoor projects help make our Compassionate Care Center a peaceful, calm, comforting place for patients and families.

These volunteers also help us keep overhead costs low, so that our dollars can be spent on patient and family care.

Athletic teams, businesses, church youth groups, and even families have completed group volunteer projects with us. We welcome these projects!

Group volunteer projects are typically outdoors and involve helping us improve or beautify the grounds at our facility.

We've also had groups drop off homemade meals, planted flowers, holiday goodies and more. 

Volunteers support the work of our Grief & Loss Support program in many ways. They may call to check on a bereaved person, help mail supportive materials, or even assist with a shadowbox workshop. On the first Sunday of December, they often help us host our annual Remembrance Tree Ceremony. Volunteers who have a heart for supporting those who have lost a loved one are perfect for this role.

Special Events volunteers assist with event planning and logistics. 

Whether Hospice Care Plus is serving as the event hosts, or the beneficiaries of a community event, we always like to have some of our volunteers involved.

Special Events volunteers can provide support through decorating, securing donated items, assisting at registration tables, greeting guests, and much more!
