The vitas coordinator is great to work with. Love being able to sew bears that will be loved by a family member. Clothing, pattern and stuffing provided - just add thread, a few notions and your own creativity. Every bear is unique and vitas really shows their appreciation

Because it is a great experience to learn more from others in a health care environment, like why should we help out others. Helping other people is like helping ourselves, no one wants to live in a healthy life in able to have the energy to do things .

The volunteer coordinator responded to my inquiry about the Memory Bear program promptly and was very friendly. She sent over some fabric and materials to practice on. I'm no speed-stitcher, but she's been very patient - I'm finally about to finish my sample bear and am looking forward to making a real one! Highly recommend this program, especially for someone who lacks the time, transportation or training for other programs.
