Crafters Wanted! Memory Bears
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
Volunteers play a vital role in preserving each hospice patient's dignity while removing the fear associated with dying. Craft volunteers can support the hospice community by making items such as prayer shawls, afghans, pillow cases, pajamas, lap blankets, and scrap books. These tokens of love bring great joy and comfort to the patients and families who receive them.In addition, our Memory Bear Program is a vital part of the care we provide to our grieving families. Using Simplicity pattern 5461- our Seamstresses create beautiful Memory Bears for our patients loved ones. New craft ideas are always welcomed and creativity is a plus.If you are interested in learning more about this volunteer opportunity please contact our Manager of Volunteer Services, Shelby Steinmetz at ShelbySteinmetz@AccentCare.com or use the link below.
