Volunteer

We are so thankful for the over 150 volunteers who support us regularly. They come with a ready smile, an attitude of service and gratitude, and every volunteer plays a valuable role here – they are so important to the ongoing operation of our hospice!

For more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 519-208-5055 ext. 258 or send an email.

Please note that a Vulnerable Sector Check is required for a volunteer to join our team,
and all volunteers must complete initial training and fulfil annual training requirements.
