Compassion - Community - Respect
About Us
Our History by Year
The Three Pillars
1. Education, Communication & Advocacy
Our team provides clear, compassionate information to reduce confusion and connect you with the right resources. We also advocate on behalf of individuals and families, working closely with government and community partners to improve access to quality palliative care and support. By standing alongside those we serve, we ensure they feel heard, supported, and empowered
2. Client Services
At the heart of our organization are dedicated, trained volunteers who provide a range of compassionate supports that enhance quality of life and foster connection. Through our Client Services, we offer: hospice, bereavement, navigation care support
3.Community building
Through our Nu2U thrift store and inclusive community events, we foster meaningful connection, purpose, and belonging. Whether it’s finding treasures at the store, volunteering, or participating in local fundraisers, these initiatives bring people together, reduce isolation, and build a stronger, more compassionate community for all
Volunteer
"Alone we can accomplish little; together we can achieve so much." - Helen Keller
Volunteers play a crucial role in our organization, contributing their time and skills in various areas such as providing companionship to clients, governance, communications, fund development, organization, and advocacy.
At the Olds & District Hospice Society, we are fortunate to have over 120 dedicated volunteers. As our society continues to grow and extend its reach, we are actively seeking additional volunteers to join our compassionate team, helping us make a positive difference in the lives of individuals in need.
We believe that everyone has unique talents and abilities that can be utilized to be part of our extraordinary and meaningful organization. Running a non-profit requires the collective efforts of many talented community members.
If you are passionate about making a difference and embody our mission of "Helping People Live," we encourage you to get involved. Reach out to our office at 403-586-9992 for more information on how you can contribute your skills and become a valued member of our team.
Together, we can create a powerful impact and provide vital support to individuals and families during their end-of-life journeys.
