Volunteer Opportunities with Hospice
For individuals who want to help families of patients who are facing the end of their lives, Saint Mary's Hospice of Northern Nevada welcomes volunteers. Hospice volunteers need to complete a training program and, after training, typically give four hours of their time each week.

- Providing companionship for Hospice patients and families
- Doing simple tasks for Hospice patients and families
