There Are Many Ways You Can Volunteer
Even More ways to volunteer
Bilingual Volunteers can make a huge difference in the lives of hospice patients and their families who speak a language other than English. We currently are seeking volunteers who are conversant in Spanish, Mandarin, or Farsi, and able to carry on conversations using basic vocabulary words and simple phrases. If you would like to use your bilingual skills to bring comfort to hospice families, please let us know!
Massage Volunteers bring their special talents to our patients, who benefit greatly from the gentle and compassionate touch of a massage therapist. If you are a certified massage therapist, a few hours a month of your time can provide much needed comfort and relaxation to our patients.
Hair Care Volunteers can bring dignity to hospice patients at the end of life by volunteering just a few hours a month. Hairstylists with a cosmetology license can provide comfort and solace to our patients as well as their families.
Vigil Volunteers work at the bedside of actively dying patients. These specifically trained volunteers help Hospice East Bay support its patients every step of the way by bringing relief to family members who are unable to be present for the death of their loved one. And, most importantly, they help to ensure patients that they are not alone. You can learn more about Vigil Volunteering here.
Event Volunteers work with Foundation staff to raise funds to support the programs and services of Hospice East Bay. This is done by planning and working at estate sales, golf tournaments, auctions, health fairs, receptions and more; depending on interest and time availability.
Community Volunteers choose to support our mission and raise funds by organizing and running their own events for the benefit of Hospice East Bay. Individuals sponsor memorial events, numerous country clubs sponsor golf tournaments, women’s clubs hold luncheons and fashion shows, and Kiwanis, Rotary and other civic and professional groups hold special functions to benefit Hospice East Bay. Friends of Hospice groups in Orinda, Rossmoor, and San Ramon Valley sponsor many activities throughout the year to raise funds.
The funds that are contributed from all of these events help to pay for services provided to patients who have no insurance, or insufficient insurance, and to cover the cost of essential services which are not covered by any insurance. This makes it possible for us to offer our services to ALL medically qualified patients, without regard for their financial status.
