Volunteer Guidelines

We understand the profound transition and change that comes about when we are bereaved or are a recipient of our service.  As a best practice, we have a waiting time before your application can be accepted. For those bereaved within the last year, we ask that you take the time for one year to grieve before applying. We also require those receiving service to wait three months from the last day of service before applying.
