    Description

    We are seeking a compassionate and skilled sewing volunteer to support our hospice bereavement program.

    This meaningful role involves creating memory items—such as keepsake pillows, quilts, or other remembrance pieces—from a loved one’s clothing or personal fabrics. These handcrafted items provide comfort to grieving families and serve as lasting reminders of connection and love.

    Responsibilities may include:

    • Sewing memory pillows and other keepsakes from donated garments
    • Handling clothing and materials with care and respect
    • Following provided patterns and simple design guidelines
    • Communicating with staff regarding timelines and special requests

    We are looking for someone who:

    • Has basic to intermediate sewing skills
    • Can work independently from home or on-site
    • Understands the sensitive nature of working with personal items
    • Is dependable and able to complete projects within agreed timeframes

    This role is ideal for someone who finds meaning in quiet, behind-the-scenes service and wants to offer comfort in a tangible, heartfelt way.

    We would be honored to have you be part of this special ministry of care.
