Your Service to our Country Matters! You have served and your life experiences can hold another Veteran at this time. You can listen with empathy. You have followed a similar path but experiences are so very unique. You can meet a Veteran exactly where they are at and be a consistent piece of the puzzle. Meeting needs such as respite, companionship, helping with small projects, or other needs in the environment.
Your own Volunteer vision matters! In the training process. We find out what your interests are. We ask how and where you want to engage. This may mean offering respite, or companionship visits. What do you love to do? Do you play cards, are you a sports fan? Would you like to capture stories or help someone send out letters or other projects. We then assign you 1-1 with a patient in our Hospice program.
Your time Matters! Hours are flexible and your availability is respected. The steps to Volunteer include at home Online training followed by an in-person group wrap-up session in St. Paul.

We require background checks which will include fingerprinting, references and labwork.
