A Memory Bear Stitched Creates a Forever Friend for a Hospice Loved-One Friendly Visit to Hospice Patients and their Families

Craft a Memory Bear. Create a Forever Friend.

VITAS Healthcare is looking for people who love to sew, and who are able to share their skills with

hospice patients and families.

A Memory Bear, sewn by a volunteer with compassion and love, is a forever friend who can ease a hurting

heart after the death of a VITAS hospice patient.

Sewn from a favorite pair of jeans, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe or nightgown, a Memory Bear may

recall the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress, or offer a sense of security to a

child who feels alone after the loss of a parent or sibling.

This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work

week you can make the biggest difference in another's life.

VITAS takes pride in its volunteers, and we welcome you to become part of our team. There are many

locations throughout the City area you can choose from. Your commitment is completely up to you,

whether you spend one day a week or one day a month. Your time is always appreciated.

Please post this flyer in your break room or area where it can be viewed by all employees. Make a

difference. Volunteer today. For more information about VITAS visit VITAS.com or contact VSM at (714) 734-2706 or maria.vieyra@vitas.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
