Volunteer Opportunities
-
Direct Patient Support/Professional Services
One of the most important things a volunteer can offer a patient is time: time to sit with them; time to listen to their stories and share their lives; time to offer caregivers a break from the difficult tasks of caring for a loved one.
Volunteers can also offer their professional services to help patients; cosmetologists, licensed or certified massage therapists, pet visitors and musicians are always a welcome addition to our volunteer team.
-
Gift and Thrift
If you have a couple hours a week, volunteers at our thrift stores help keep our stores stocked with desirable merchandise. Volunteers receive donations, operate cash registers, steam and tag clothing and assist customers. Learn more about store hours, schedule a donation pick-up or learn about our store specials click here.

Friends of Hospice
Friends of Hospice started in 1981 when Pat Chargin, retired nurse and early Hospice of the Foothills board member, recognized the need to raise funds in support of the Hospice of the Foothills.
Recognizing the need for intensive fundraising, Pat took action by placing an ad in the local paper and mailing out a plea for participation in a fundraising auxiliary to all of her friends.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities to suit your interests, skills and availability.
Whether if you want to work directly with paitents, assist in our thrift stores or contribute a unique talent, there’s a place for you on our team.
Every year 267 volunteers give more 19,000 hours throughout our organization.
