Do you have a hospice heart and a sewing skill to share?

Memory Bears

We are looking for individuals that are interested in volunteering for ViaQuest that will help us make "Memory Bears". These bears are made out of the clothing of a love one who has passed away in hospice. The "Memory Bears" will be for their family members to remember them by.

Lap Blankets
Material and designs of your choice. Some favorites have been bright colors, designs with birds, horses, dogs and cats. The blankets are given to patients in our program at staffs first visit. As you can imagine the blanket offers a touch of warmth and comfort with each one given. (patterns, size suggestions available)

Neck or Heart Pillows
Typically made from cotton or other soft materials. Requested by our nurses to assist positioning patients for comfort. (patterns available)

Other ideas of items to sew, knit, quilt or crochet you or your group can make and donate?

Would your group like to gather once a week in our office to sew, knit, quilt or crochet? We would love to share our space and can offer a nice, bright, space with a large conference table, chairs and free coffee, water, tea and occasional snacks.

To learn more or to register for an upcoming Volunteer Orientation, email or call (765) 237-5307 Ext. 3315 or email kristi.kennedy@viaquestinc.com).

We invite you to join our team of outstanding volunteers!

About ViaQuest Hospice

Mission Statement

It’s hard to know where to turn for help when facing a serious illness. ViaQuest can improve the quality of life for those living with chronic and terminal diseases and conditions. These diseases slowly decrease an individual’s ability to live life to its fullest. There comes a time when seeking a cure may no longer be possible or in one’s best interest and the focus turns to quality of life. When that happens ViaQuest Hospice may be the answer. Our care is not focused on the disease, but on pain relief and symptom control, making it easier for you to keep your focus where it should be - on living more fully. Our core services are at the heart of what we do. We are experts in providing high-quality, cost-effective home health, hospice, and behavioral health care that goes beyond just service. We also specialize in caring for individuals with developmental disabilities, offering innovative services that help people live their best lives possible.
