Good Shepherd Hospice needs sewing volunteers to create Remembrance Bears/Pillows as treasured keepsakes for hospice families following the loss of their loved one. Many bears/pillows have been made and delivered to our Hospice families over the years, and the requests remain high. Work from home and in your own time frame. A bear pattern along with a special piece of fabric selected by the family in honor of their loved one is provided. Adding your own special touches and details is encouraged. Once completed, a special "Bear Delivery" is made to the family with a card signed by you and the hospice team. Bears and pillows serve as a sweet and huggable reminder of a grandparent, spouse, parent, brother, sister or other loved one. Please lend your sewing talents to our efforts to provide a wonderful gift to our hospice families! Contact Heidi Masters, Volunteer Coordinator, at 913-322-3297or heidi.masters@goodshepherdhospice.com and help touch families in a special, creative way they will always remember.

COMPASSIONATE ABOUT CARE. passionate about life.
At Good Shepherd Hospice, we believe that health care is more than just a diagnosis and a treatment. It's a daily exercise in making this moment...this today...the very best it can be. We're here to help our patients achieve that goal - physically, mentally, spiritually...and for whatever that means individually.
We believe that in the passing of a person’s life, there are also extraordinary opportunities for compassion, reconciliation, spiritual healing, and renewal.
