This National Volunteer Week, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible community that surrounds Pilgrims Hospice.

This year, over 200 dedicated volunteers generously gave 14,422 hours of their time, compassion and care. That’s the equivalent of more than 7 full-time staff members — a truly remarkable contribution that speaks volumes about the heart of our community.

Behind every hour is a moment of kindness: a comforting conversation, a helping hand and a quiet presence when it matters most. Our volunteers are an essential part of the care we provide, bringing warmth, dignity and connection to those we serve and their loved ones.

To each and every one of our volunteers: thank you for your generosity, your empathy and your unwavering commitment. You make a difference every single day.

💙 Happy National Volunteer Week! 💙
