Mission Statement
Hemet Hospice Volunteers, Inc. is a community based, non-profit organization, providing resources for special needs of hospice patients, families, and the bereaved with love and compassion at the end-of-life.
About This Cause
Hemet Hospice Volunteers is a community based non-profit 501 (c) (3) volunteer organization that has been providing resources for the special needs of hospice patients and those grieving the loss of a loved one for over 40 years. Hemet Hospice Volunteers relies on generous support in the form of donations and grants for the programs and services we provide free of charge to the community we serve. Hemet Hospice Charitable Care Program: The Charitable Care program allows us to provide assistance, free of charge to enhance the quality of life for hospice patients and families when they need it most, beyond what is covered by traditional health care. A social worker or nurse from VNAcare located in Murrieta, our sister agency that provides the medical hospice care, identifies the charitable care needs for low income patients and submits a request for assistance; such as those who need temporary care in a facility, private duty caregivers to assist exhausted family caregivers, groceries or hospice care for the uninsured. Through our Charitable Care Program, we also grant last wishes to those who are facing the end of their lives. Hemet Hospice Volunteers offers bereavement services to those who have experienced the loss of a loved one, including several adult bereavement support groups. We also provide a youth bereavement program in the Hemet and San Jacinto school districts for elementary, middle and high school age children who are coping with the loss of a parent, grandparent, or sibling as a result of a terminal illness, car accident, sudden unexpected illness or violence. In addition, we are fortunate to have wonderful volunteer crafters who make lap blankets, hats, scarfs, and slippers for the hospice patients. Volunteers also sew Memory Bears, made from favorite clothing items such as a favorite shirt or blouse that belonged to a loved one. The Valley Quilters Guild also supports our agency by making special pillowcases for children who have participated in our Youth Bereavement Program following the loss of a loved one.
