I Want to Volunteer

Hospice Volunteers are key to fulfilling Serenity Hospice and Home’s mission of service.


Join us at Serenity Hospice & Home, no previous experience is required. People from all walks of life volunteer for Serenity Hospice and Home: men, women, retirees, students, and business professionals, too.

Volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, but share a passion: the willingness to give of themselves.

You will be matched to assignments that fit your unique skills, interest, and schedule.  For more information, please call our Volunteer Manager, Stephanie, at 815-732-2499.
