Volunteer Opportunities with Hospice of Havasu
Hospice of Havasu was founded as a volunteer organization. While the organization now also employs paid staff, volunteers remain an invaluable part of Hospice of Havasu. They perform a wide variety of tasks, all of which serve our patients and their families.
Some volunteers work in the Hospice of Havasu Resale Store, sorting and organizing merchandise. Proceeds from the Resale Store benefit Hospice of Havasu programs and services.
Other volunteer opportunities include making social visits to patients for companionship or to provide respite for their caregivers. Some of our volunteers even have four legs and tails!
There are also volunteers who enjoy helping out in the office, or at community events. The Friends of Hospice Crafters work year-round creating items for their annual Holiday Boutique Craft Sale, from which all proceeds are donated to Hospice of Havasu.

The Benefits of Volunteering
Volunteering benefits the volunteer, as well as the organization they’re giving their time to. Studies have shown that people who volunteer enjoy improved physical and mental health, an increased sense of purpose, and strengthened relationships with others.
