Make a meaningful impact by using your sewing talents to bring comfort and warmth to hospice patients in their final journey. As a sewing hospice volunteer, you will create personalized, soft, and comforting items such as blankets, fidget aprons, memory bears, pillows, and small fabric keepsakes. These thoughtful creations provide warmth, solace, and emotional support to patients and their families during challenging times.

No previous hospice experience is required-just a compassionate heart and a love for sewing. Your handcrafted items will help foster a nurturing, peaceful environment for those facing life-limiting illnesses.

If you’re passionate about making a difference through sewing, we’d love to have you on our team! Join us in creating a serene and comforting space for those in need.
