Hospice Volunteers needed! We need volunteers to serve our patients and families in all areas of Butte, Glenn, and Tehama counties! Kind, caring, compassionate volunteers are a critical part of our hospice team. Hospice volunteers provide socialization for patients: read a book, have a conversation, or just sit and keep company. Volunteers can also give family a break, or even help with light household tasks, providing support at a time when they need it most. Office volunteers in our Chico main office are also needed. Valuable skills include: filing, organizing, data entry, phone etiquette, writing, computer skills... or, if you have a skill or an idea that would make our program even better, we're open to ideas!
