    Description

    A Memory Bear Stitched Creates a Forever Friend for a Hospice Loved One

    VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who love to sew and want to share their skills with hospice patients and their 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 patient's favorite shirt, dress, sports jersey or work uniform, a Memory Bear can evoke 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 your community, use your creative skills, and strengthen your resume. By volunteering, you can ke the biggest difference in another's life.
