When facing the final stages of life or complex medical needs, the simple gift of compassionate presence can mean everything. In Marquette, Trillium House provides a comforting, home-like environment where residents and their families receive dedicated support, peace, and dignity. Behind this warm atmosphere is a dedicated community of volunteers whose kindness touches lives every day.
Now, Trillium House is expanding how community members can give back with its newly launched Volunteer Care Companion Program.
Hands-On Impact: The Care Companion Program
For individuals seeking deeply rewarding, hands-on experience, the Care Companion Program offers specialized training in providing personal care in a hospice support setting. After connecting with the volunteer coordinator, completing an application, and undergoing standard background checks, Care Companions receive training on the essentials of compassionate personal care.
Whether you are a student considering a healthcare career, a retiree looking to stay connected, or simply someone with a big heart, the Care Companion role offers a rare opportunity to learn valuable skills while directly uplifting residents during life’s most vulnerable moments.
Opportunities for Every Talent and Schedule
Direct personal care is only one way to make a difference. Trillium House works to accommodate varied schedules and offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities to match every personality and skill set:
- Compassionate Companionship: Visit, read together, share stories, or play cards.

The Rewards of Giving Back
Volunteering at Trillium House is not just about the assistance provided—it is about the deep sense of fulfillment that comes from human connection. Volunteers often share that their time spent at the house offers perspective, gratitude, and a lasting reminder of what matters most.
