Great Lakes Caring Hospice volunteers are characterized as compassionate, unselfish individuals who dedicate their time to enhance the lives of others. A volunteer is by nature a generous person because volunteers are accepting of the needs of others.
Our volunteers come from all different walks of life. They are students, homemakers, business people, retirees, educators, medical personnel and office staff. No matter their background, they all share the energy and compassion to give back.
