Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of Greater Baytown Area and Chambers County

What if the best thing you could offer was simply being there?

At Harbor Hospice, we know the journey through a life-limiting illness is easier when shared. Our volunteers are the compassionate heroes who offer the invaluable gifts of companionship, comfort, and respite. By simply sitting with a patient, sharing a story, or holding a hand, you offer profound peace and support during life's most important moments.

We currently care for a wonderful community of 95 to 115 patients in the Baytown area every month, and we need compassionate hearts to keep that kindness flowing!

Your Essential Superpowers: Companionship & Respite

We are specifically seeking dedicated individuals for two of our most critical, high-impact roles:

Companion & Friend: Offer friendship, conversation, and emotional support to patients, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and valued. This time is for listening, sharing silence, or enjoying light activities.

The Respite Angel: Provide a necessary and often life-changing break for tired caregivers. By sitting with a patient for a set period, you allow a family member time to rest, run errands, or simply recharge.

Logistics: Easy, Flexible, and Rewarding

Commitment? Totally flexible! We work with your schedule. Whether you have an hour or two a week, let's make it happen.

Training? Absolutely! You'll receive full support and specialized training to feel confident and ready to go.

Where? You will serve patients in their own homes and long-term care facilities throughout the Baytown area.

Why Choose Harbor Hospice?

You won't just be volunteering; you'll be joining a compassionate community and forging deeply meaningful connections. This is the ultimate "feel-good" opportunity that provides comfort and peace when it matters most.

Are you a licensed hairstylist? Do you have a pair of scissors and a heart of gold? Harbor Hospice is on the hunt for compassionate stylists (retired pros and currently working whizzes!) who want to share their talent and spread some joy—one beautiful haircut at a time.

✂️ The Role: More Than Just a Trim

A good haircut isn't just about looking sharp; it’s about feeling like you. For our patients, a fresh trim can lift spirits, boost dignity, and feel like a hug delivered by a comb.

You'll be providing complimentary, essential grooming services to our patients, whether they're in a nursing home or receiving care in the comfort of their own home. It’s a small amount of time that makes a monumental difference!

Where We Need Your Magic Hands

Our wonderful patients are located throughout the Greater Baytown area, which means you can volunteer close to home!

Our Service Areas Include:

Baytown

Crosby

Highlands

La Porte

Dayton

Deer Park

Commitment: The "We're Flexible" Plan

Life is busy, and we get it! This is an ongoing, flexible opportunity.

We are looking for individuals who are willing to volunteer just once or twice a month. Even one morning or afternoon a month can help us reach so many patients who truly need it.
