- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Do you live in the Canon City area and want to help Veterans? Did you serve in the Military? Did you know that 25% of all deaths each year (about 680,000) are Veterans?
Help these heroes at the end of their lives by becoming a hospice volunteer. With so many veterans in our community, you have a real opportunity to honor a veteran by providing a listening ear and creating a sacred space that only another veteran can give.
As a Veteran-to-Veteran Hospice Volunteer, you get specialized training to spend time with these Veterans as they near the end of their lives.
You must pass a background check, complete orientation (at your own pace) and mentor with hospice staff. For more information, please contact CJ Pharr, Volunteer Coordinator at 720-390-1276 or cpharr@coloradophc.com
