Volunteer as a Driver – Hospice Waikato, Matamata
Volunteering as a driver with Hospice Waikato means more than just picking up and dropping off items. Every trip you make helps raise vital funds to support people in their final stage of life, providing comfort, dignity, and care during their last days with loved ones.
You’re not just moving furniture - you’re helping local families as they face life’s hardest goodbye.

Join our Matamata Hospice Shop team:

  • Pick up donated items from local homes and businesses, or collect items from the Hospice Shop to deliver elsewhere, making sure everything arrives safely and on time
  • Help carefully load and unload boxes and goods, treating every donation with respect because it supports families in need
  • Help build on Matamata’s proud tradition of community care, where everyone pitches in and no one gets left behind.
