SEWING VOLUNTEERS
Caring Hospice Services is in need of sewing volunteers to make memory bears.
Caring Hospice Services of Southwestern PA is a hospice agency, providing hospice care to terminally ill patients in the PA counties of Allegheny, Westmoreland, Washington, and Fayette.
As part of our Volunteer and Bereavement programs, we provide memory bears to the loved ones of our deceased patients, at no cost to the families.
After a patient has passed away, we offer their loved ones a keepsake in the form of teddy bears made from the patient's clothing.
After we acquire the clothing from the family, a volunteer turns them into this lovely, huggable memory for the family to cherish.
To allow us to continue to offer this service, we need volunteers to make these bears.
Requirements:
All materials will be provided for you. You will spend no money out-of-pocket.
You would work remotely, from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you like to sew.
Please help us in offering these bears! Join us as a Volunteer and make a meaningful impact!
If you are interested and live in the PA counties we serve (Allegheny, Westmoreland, Washington, and Fayette Counties), please click apply or reach out to us directly.

We are passionate about our mission to bring comfort and relief into the lives of those who need it most. Every day, our caring and compassionate staff works wonders in the lives of hundreds of terminally ill patients and their families. They replace suffering with comfort, despondence with good cheer, and despair with hope. We have earned the confidence of medical professionals and the eternal gratitude of thousands of patients and family members.
Hospice is an approach in care that has greatly improved the way our society and particularly the medical community perceives end of life issues. The philosophy of hospice is simple and compelling: Individuals with life-limiting medical conditions should be made as comfortable as possible, and have their quality of life maximized, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. In practice, hospice focuses on managing and alleviating pain and symptoms while maintaining the patient’s dignity. Hospice fosters a love and appreciation for family and life experiences, and helps patients accept their situation with hope and encouragement rather than despair. Because no two situations are alike, hospice caregivers coordinate a plan of care that is specifically designed to meet the needs of each individual. As part of a comprehensive care approach, hospice care also addresses the logistical and emotional needs of the patient’s family. The hospice team of caregivers includes physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, therapists, volunteers - and most importantly - family members themselves. Because it is an approach, not a place, hospice care can be provided at home, at an assisted living facility, at a long-term care setting, or even at a hospital.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
