Friends of Hospice

Friends of Hospice was founded in 1984 by ten inspired local community volunteers. Now with over 50 dedicated volunteers, the Friends’ mission remains the same: to raise funds in support of Hospice of Santa Cruz County. In total, Friends of Hospice has provided over $2.7 million dollars to support the meaningful community programs that make Hospice of Santa Cruz the local hospice of choice. The compassion, care, and comfort hospice provides are more important than ever, especially with all the uncertainty in the world.

The Friends of Hospice are growing their membership through monthly in-person meetings. To learn more and to join this enthusiastic volunteer group, please contact Sigfrid Garman:
