Make a Difference in Someone’s Life
At Homestead Hospice, we need people like you to donate time, energy and experience in a variety of areas, including community outreach, social events within the community and direct patient contact. Together, we will be able to help patients and families living with terminal illness. Our volunteers continue to express their feelings of joy and inspiration as they make a difference in the lives of the patients and families they help.
Why Volunteer at Homestead?
Volunteering feels good!

There are many advantages in volunteering, from gaining personal satisfaction to an addition on your resume or college application, ultimately everyone benefits from good deeds. Your time and presence brings joy to families everywhere. Many patients cherish social interaction and enjoy sharing stories. Just sitting with a patient to hear his/her life story may also change the path you take in life. You never know what you might learn.
