Do you have a passion for sewing and would like a way to give back to a hospice family? Please help us make a difference by being a part of our Memory Bear Sewers program.
As a part of our Bereavement Program, families can bring in a garment that belonged to their departed loved one for a Memory Bear Sewers to make teddy bears out of. We then give these Memory Bears back to the family as a keepsake and remembrance of their loved one.
If you are interested in learning more please contact Volunteer Coordinator Travis Kennedy via e-mail at tkennedy@msa-corp.com or call (804)282-4301.
