Do you have a passion for sewing and a heart for helping others? We are seeking compassionate, skilled volunteers who can sew items that provide warmth, dignity, and comfort to patients in hospice care.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Sewing lap blankets, memory bears, comfort pillows, or other meaningful items
Working from home at your own pace with materials we provide (or you can donate your own!)
Helping patients and families feel loved, seen, and supported during a deeply meaningful time
Why It Matters:
Each handmade item is more than just fabric-it’s a tangible expression of care, offering emotional support to those facing end-of-life journeys and their loved ones. Your time and talent can bring light and comfort to someone when they need it most.
