Become a Hospice Volunteer

Our volunteer team knows that the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact to those that need it the most. The ways you can volunteer range from spending time with clients in person or on the phone, to sharing your musical, sewing, or baking talents, to being there for the families of those we serve after their loved one passes away.

Volunteer opportunities exist across Iowa, during daytime, evening, or weekends. Volunteers don't need any experience or medical background and training is provided at no cost. You may choose to volunteer once, a couple hours a month, or a few hours a week. Every minute makes a difference.
