Volunteer

Hinds LifeCare relies on volunteers for the day-to-day operations of the agency. Volunteers help with patients, special events, thrift stores, community awareness, and more. If you are interested in volunteering for Hinds LifeCare in one of these ways, please call us at (559) 317-6016 or email volunteer@hindshospice.org.

Shop and Donate at our thrift stores

Hinds LifeCare relies heavily on individual donations and revenue from our thrift stores. All of our thrift stores carry a wide variety of goods, including clothing, kitchenware, books, jewelry, sporting goods, records, furniture, appliances, and an ever-increasing list of collectibles. Our thrift stores accept most items, provided they are non-perishable, non-toxic, and in good working order. We cannot accept mattresses or partially used medical supplies. Every donation helps, whether it’s an antique dining set or a pair of gently-worn shoes. If you are unsure about whether your donation is acceptable, simply visit or call the store. Staff and volunteers are happy to answer your questions. Click below for more information about the Hinds LifeCare thrift stores.

Benefits of Planned Giving

When you name Hinds LifeCare in your Will or Trust:

  • You have a profound impact on the mission of Hinds LifeCare
  • You receive our recognition and thanks as a donor
  • Your estate or Trust will receive a charitable gift deduction for the donated asset(s) after you pass away

 

When you create a Charitable Remainder Trust (“CRT”):

  • You receive the charitable gift tax deduction right away – in the year the CRT was created
  • You receive payments of income and/or principal from the asset(s) you put into the CRT, for a term of years or the rest of your life
  • You have the assurance of knowing that Hinds LifeCare will receive the donated asset(s) at the end of the term or when you pass away

 

Naming Hinds LifeCare as a beneficiary of your Will or Living Trust Designating Hinds LifeCare as the beneficiary of a retirement or other account is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can create a perpetual legacy at Hinds LifeCare. It’s easy. Just request a beneficiary designation form from your insurance agent or financial advisor and add Hinds LifeCare to the list of beneficiaries and designate a certain percentage of the life insurance proceeds or I.R.A. that you would like to be distributed to Hinds LifeCare.
