A special note to
Hospice volunteer coordinators:
211 Information and Referral does not list individual
hospice opportunities, because we reserve the newspaper space for nonprofit and government agencies. Space permitting, 211 will list a
general call for hospice volunteers every couple of months. When potential
volunteers contact 211 for hospice volunteering, information will be
provided about a variety of hospices. If your hospice wishes to be included
please contact Kristin. Hospices are encouraged to list volunteer opportunities
online and
in our printed volunteer lists.
