‘How can you volunteer at Hospice? It must be so sad!’ Nearly every person we know who works or volunteers in hospice palliative care has heard this comment at one point or another. We asked our volunteers to “Name one thing that you love about volunteering at Hospice Waterloo Region” and here are some of the amazing responses we received….

Our volunteers truly understand the honour and privilege it is to support folks who are navigating serious illness, caregiving, and bereavement, and we are so thankful for them and the hours of caring service they provide every day.

Happy National Volunteer Week! Hospice Waterloo Region is incredibly grateful to the 300+ volunteers who give of their time and energy to our clients and this organization.

This slide show captures some of the amazing impact that volunteers have on HWR. We couldn't do what we do, without the support, dedication and compassion of our volunteers.

Thank you Volunteers, for everything you do!

In celebration of Unicorn Day, we wanted to re-introduce you to the Hospice Waterloo Region unicorn Eunice! Back in 2022, our staff were understandably grieving and processing the deaths of several of our clients, and Eunice was brought in to help bring us some magic and raise our spirits. Eunice has been a member of the HWR family ever since visiting and bringing magic to clients, volunteers, and staff all year long. Fun fact: Eunice loves dancing, candy, and giving hugs😊

Taking care of someone in your life? We see you 💜

Today is National Caregiver Day – a day to recognize all you do *every day* to help your family member, partner, friend, or neighbour.

This role is complicated. It’s messy. Challenging. Meaningful. Demanding. Lonely. We could go on.

Despite it all, you still show up. You do your best. You make a difference.

Thank you for your invaluable work, for the unseen moments of care, for everything that goes into the care you give. We deeply appreciate the crucial role you play in the lives of those you support and within our healthcare system.

➡️If you’re looking for a way to mark the day, we’re hosting a special event this evening with GenWell, where we’ll be recognizing the amazing contributions of caregivers across the province and sharing practical tips to help busy caregivers build social connections.
