Volunteering is Rewarding

As a volunteer, you can make a huge difference in another person’s life.

Whether it’s providing support to school children who have experienced the death of a loved one, sharing your special crafting skills and talents, or providing respite support to caregivers for just a few hours a week; the amazing contributions of volunteers are essential to the work provided by Hemet Hospice Volunteers and VNAcare.

We welcome enthusiastic people who would like to donate their time to help our non-profit organizations work toward meeting their goals.

Volunteers are truly the backbone of all that we do. Volunteering is also a great way to meet new friends and gain great personal satisfaction from knowing that you have made an impact in another person’s life while making a difference in your community.
