There are some things only a soldier understands. If you’re a veteran looking for a way to give back, we offer veteran-to-veteran volunteer opportunities that enable you to support a fellow soldier through perhaps the most difficult time in their lives. We are part of the national We Honor Veterans Program and also looking for veterans to assist in pinning ceremonies.

No Medical Training? No problem!
To become a hospice volunteer, all you need is a compassionate heart. Our volunteer training will teach you everything you need to know to be a companion for someone during their end-of-life journey. You’ll learn valuable skills in grief counseling, spiritual and emotional support, and end-of-life care.

We're specifically looking for veterans to visit folks in their home in the greater Portland area. Not for you? Wrong town? Our volunteer coordinators will help you match your talents with opportunities in your area.
