Join the nation's leading provider of Hospice Care and assist patients in documenting their life story. We partnered with a website where you print out questions, ask the patient then enter them into the site. The family received a printed, bound book with their loved one's life story. They also have permanent access to their loved one's records. This can be the most powerful gift to offer patient's families; a documented account of their loved one's life. Help us offer this precious heirloom that can be viewed for generations. A 30 minute training from the website trainer is provided to teach you how to use the easy program. All volunteers must attend a comprehensive orientation to gain the knowledge you will need to work with terminally ill patients. These are currently held online via Zoom and/or via self-study. In order to comply with the State of California’s COVID requirements, all volunteers must have one of the two items below. Be fully vaccinated with booster (proof required) with no testing requirements Apply for a VITAS vaccine exemption (reviewed on a case-by-case basis) with proof of weekly negative tests required

VITAS Hospice is seeking volunteers to sew Memory Bears for the family members of those we have cared for that have passed away. Memory Bears are made from the patient's favorite flannel shirt, fluffy robe, a pair of worn-out jeans or a pressed uniform. Whatever most reminds their loved one of them. The Bears have proven to provide grief support in a most unique way. With our easy-to-follow pattern, their garments can be transformed into a precious memory for family members and other caregivers. This is a great way to provide comfort and support by using your sewing skills to lift the spirit of a family member or friend who has recently suffered the loss of a loved one. We provide you with stuffing and the family provides the fabric; you provide the talent and sewing skills. Support for sewing the bears is available from other Memory Bear Volunteers.
