We all have that favorite piece of clothing that brings confidence, comfort and familiarity when we put it on.
Picture that piece of clothing you're known for-that silly flamingo shirt, comfy sweats, fun tie, colorful shirt, etc. and the smile it brings to those around you to see you in it!
When a patient passes away, the accentCare team comes around the family to offer bereavement support and one way our volunteers can be part of that support is by helping to create Memory Bears or Pillows. These tangible items give the bereaved something to hold, smell, touch as they grieve which is invaluable in their healing journey.
Through this volunteer opportunity experienced sewers take patients clothing and using a provided pattern, stuffing, etc. create a one of a kind keepsake.
This opportunity is done from the volunteers home and bears are dropped off to our office to be delivered to family members.
If you are looking for a deeply rewarding volunteer opportunity, then this is for you!!
Requirements:
- Application with 2 reference checks
