Living with terminal illness is full of uncertainty. Be a friend to someone at the end of life. As a volunteer with Care Initiatives Hospice, you’ll bring presence and companionship to patients and families across the Metro in homes and in long term care.

We provide the training you need to begin and ongoing support as you serve. 18+ Preferred. Background check required. Volunteer 1-3 times a month for 30 minutes. Serve where you live at locations around the Metro.
Currently serving in Ames, Ankeny, Altoona, Beaverdale, Bondurant, Clive, Des Moines, West Des Moines, Grimes, Grinnell, Johnston, Marshalltown, Panora, Montezuma, Stratford, State Center, Urbandale, Norwalk, Pleasant Hill, and Zearing.
