Volunteering

Provided by Burnaby Hospice Society

Provides volunteer opportunities to support clients to enhance the quality of life for those facing a life-threatening illness or grieving the loss of a loved one.
Provide direct care to palliative patients and families who are facing advanced illness, or who are bereaved, offer respite for caregivers, visit with clients and families, run errands, write letters, and provide support to the grieving.
