Volunteer with Hospice

---

Caring. Selfless. Kind.

At Dundas County Hospice, volunteers don’t just give their time — they give their hearts. They sit quietly beside someone who is dying, laugh with a caregiver who needs a break, or bring a warm meal to someone who hasn’t had a visitor in days. They are the hands to hold, the calm in the storm, the gentle reminder that no one is ever truly alone.

Every act of kindness from a volunteer — no matter how small — helps bring dignity, comfort, and connection to those who need it most.

If you have a caring heart and a desire to help, there’s a place for you here.

We welcome volunteers of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. No medical experience is required — just compassion, reliability, and a willingness to show up for someone in need. For roles that involve working directly with clients, a Vulnerable Sector Police Check is required. Full training and support are provided, including a 30-hour hospice volunteer course for client-facing roles.

Volunteering with us isn’t just something you do — it becomes part of who you are. Many of our volunteers say the experience has changed their lives.

You may be a perfect fit if you’re looking to:

• Give back to your community in a deeply meaningful way
   
• Share your time and talents with people who truly appreciate it
   
• Connect with other compassionate, like-minded individuals
   
• Be part of something beautiful, purposeful, and full of heart
   
• Make a difference — one visit, one smile, one story at a time
