A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE FROM YOUR HOME! PARTICIPANTS MUST BE IN THE CUMBERLAND, DAUPHIN, YORK, PERRY COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA AREAS TO ALLOW FOR EASIER DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP OF ITEMS.

Bereavement care is an essential component of Homeland Hospice’s services that involves providing ongoing support for the bereaved over a period of 13 months. When a loved one passes away, we tend to reach for objects that might steady us, a tangible reminder of the person we have lost. Homeland Hospice would like to provide that tangible reminder in the form of Memory Pillows. Memory Pillows, made from a loved one’s special shirt or other garment, provides not only a visual reminder, but is also something to hug and hold.

If you are an experienced sewer RESIDING IN THE GREATER HARRISBURG PA AREA and would enjoy sharing your talent to bring comfort to others, contact us!
