Getting Involved

Volunteers

As a nonprofit, Yolo Hospice has as great a need for volunteers as other organizations. We need help in the office, with special projects, for fundraising activities and in our thrift store. Unique to hospice though is the role of Patient Care Volunteer.

Patient Care Volunteers are a vital part of our team giving support, help, and companionship to patients and their families.

All Patient Care Volunteers go through a training course to prepare them for working with patients and families. The services they provide include giving companionship, reading to the patient, letter writing, errands, household chores and filling in when family members need a break.

A big part of a volunteer's effort is simply befriending the patient and family, from their relationship flows the specific set of services needed.


We value all our volunteers and welcome your participation. For details on how to volunteer in any of these capacities, click here.

"What I am always taken by in this work is people's willingness to become exactly who they are - to be real and completely present to what each moment brings, as if each moment were a gift."
