Support can come in many ways!
Hospice Care East is supported through generous donations and through outstanding volunteers. Our volunteers support our families, the community, host events, create connections, and are a critical part of our work.
Hospice East is a community based non-profit organization.
The communities we serve are important to us, and we strive to be connected.
We provide many opportunities for individuals in our community to connect with us as well.
We have an active volunteer program that allows you to become part of our mission to come alongside terminally ill individuals and their families. Check out some of our volunteer opportunities.
We also need individuals to partner with us financially. We rely on private donations to help fund our exceptional care.
