Hospice Volunteering

Hospice Volunteering – it is hope and more…more than traditional healthcare. It is providing solutions for difficult times when hope is in question. It is being close in a time of fear. It is a friend with time to share. It is laughter in the midst of tears. It is dignity…it is humanity…It is what Hospice Volunteers do. It must be love…it is called Hospice.

Hospice Volunteer training classes are now forming for men and women 18 years old and up, bilingual appreciated but not required, for Hospice Touch, located in Santa Ana. We visit patients throughout Orange County, and once training is completed, patient assignments are made near where the volunteer lives. Classes will be held on five consecutive Thursday evenings from 6-9 p.m. beginning January 22.

There are many volunteer opportunities available in addition to patient visits, including making and donating various quality of life gifts for our patients, clerical support, shopping support, bereavement support and community outreach support.
