Memory Bear Maker

VITAS Healthcare is looking for volunteers who love to sew and want 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 the hurting heart after the death of a VITAS hospice patient.

Sewn from a patient's favorite sports jersey, T-Shirt, dress, work shirt or uniform,a Memory Bear can evoke the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someonein distress, or offer a sense of security to a child who feels alone after the loss of a parent, grandparent 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 make the biggest difference in another's life.
