Do you love to sew? Are you creative? AccentCare Hospice & Palliative Care is looking for individuals or groups of people who can share their creative talents to help in the healing process for grieving families. We create one-of-a-kind Memory Bears and Memory Pillows. These very special items are lovingly created using the clothing of our Hospice patients that have passed away.

Families kindly donate a favorite shirt, blouse, T-shirt, nightgowns, sweatshirts, etc. to be created into the Memory Bears and Memory Pillows. These items are then gifted back to our families who have experienced the loss of a loved one. We supply all the necessary supplies and patterns that are needed to create these projects. This is a wonderful way to give back to families we serve knowing that your creative talents will live on in the hearts of our families.
