Better Living is proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week, April 19-25, 2026, a time dedicated to recognizing the extraordinary individuals who strengthen our community through the time, care, and generosity they share with others.
This year’s theme, Ignite Volunteerism, reminds us that every act of service has the power to spark something meaningful. A simple conversation, a helping hand, or a moment of encouragement can brighten someone’s day and create a lasting impact.
When we look at our Volunteers, we do not just see helping hands. We see kindness, thoughtfulness, and quiet strength in action every day.
Our Volunteers may not wear capes, but they:
- Lift spirits with a simple smile
- Provide comfort through meaningful conversations
- Support programs that enhance quality of life
- Step forward whenever there is a need
These moments of care often happen quietly and without recognition, yet they create meaningful change across our community. Their impact is not defined by grand gestures, but by the consistent and thoughtful ways they show up for others.
Each visit, each conversation, and each moment of support helps ignite connection, care, and belonging for the individuals and families we serve.
During National Volunteer Week, we are celebrating the many ways our Volunteers make Better Living stronger and sharing stories that highlight the difference they make every day.
Thank you to all of our Volunteers for sharing your time, care, and generosity with our community.
The generosity and support provided by volunteers is vital to the daily operations of the hospice. Our volunteers help with a variety of tasks that include spending time with our residents, preparing meals and snacks in the kitchen, and assisting with office administration.
