Wings of Hope Mission Statement:
Our mission is to honor the lives of those who have passed while on hospice care by providing for those currently in need. Wings of Hope supports partnered hospices in the San Antonio community with the assistance of organizations that help patients and their loved ones experience the best possible quality of living, even as they face end of life.

Are you looking for a rewarding volunteer experience within the hospice care field? Want to give back to senior citizens, especially when some need it the most? Wings of Hope has an amazing volunteer position for you! We will work with your schedule and location--whether in person or remote--so you can help out those that need it the most. Whether once, or ongoing, an hour or ten, we only have one question for you:
When can you start?
