VOLUNTEER

Caring, generous volunteers compliment our programs and aid us in our mission to provide care for families in our community who face chronic conditions, illness, death, and bereavement.

Our volunteers meet mandatory requirements that allow us to assure our patients, participants, and their families that they are dealing with individuals of character and compassion for others.

Our agency is a unique organization, combining hospice services and adult day programs under one roof. Both programs rely on dedicated volunteers to assist with a wide scope of support services. Volunteers are trained and oriented to their assigned area and always have staff support during their volunteer experience.

We welcome all inquires from prospective volunteers.

Please feel free to email Mary Ellen Makowski, our Volunteer Services Manager, or call her at 707-258-9084 ext. 206, for more information.
