Pleasant Hill, CA, United States Anchor Health Full time

Anchor Health is currently seeking Hospice Volunteers who live in Pleasant Hill, California (Contra Costa County) or the surrounding areas.

Volunteering for Anchor Health will give you an opportunity to truly make a difference in another person's life. Your smile, your listening, your attention, and your compassionate presence will bring the important gift of connection and affirmation to someone who is in their final phase of life.

Volunteers are given assignments that work for them. You tell us how often you'd like to volunteer, and we'll find an assignment that's a good match for you. All of us at Anchor Health value you, your time, and your very generous heart.
