HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS

“We support Hospice Giving Foundation because they’re an organization that touches our hearts deeply. We believe in celebrating life—whether through moments of joy or during more difficult times. We are proud to contribute our services to the community, knowing that our efforts, alongside the foundation’s, help families find peace, strength, and meaningful connection during their most challenging experiences.”
— Elia & Leo Melgar, Central Coast Entertainment
“I volunteer for Hospice Giving Foundation because of those miracle workers who provide care and comfort. If answering phones, stuffing envelopes, helping at registration, or raising awareness can support just one family, then I am honored to do my part in helping Hospice Giving Foundation do their best work.
I volunteer to honor my mom and dad. In doing so, I also honor my aunts, uncles, family members, and friends who have passed.”
— Janet Belardo
