Volunteering

The Heart of Hastings Hospice volunteers help in the Madoc, Marmora, Stirling and Tweed areas.

​

  • Hospice offers our volunteers an opportunity to support their community
     

  • Volunteering is more than giving a few hours; it is making a difference in someone's life
     

  • Volunteers receive 30 hours of training developed by the Hospice Palliative Care Ontario

 

​

​

Give Back to the Community

​

The people we help could be your family, friends, neighbours, members of your church, former classmates and others you see and interact with often. 

​

 

Help Those In Need

​

The clients who are referred to us really need your help. In some cases they have no one else to turn to. We cannot let them "slip through the cracks".

​

 

Learn New Skills

​

We offer free Palliative Care training and paid mileage. 

​

​

Gain/Continue Palliative Care Experience
