Pet Volunteers needed to Lick away Loneliness or Cuddle in a Lap

Flexible Schedule | Washington, DC 20002

VITAS invites friendly and well-behaved pets to join the Paw Pals SM program, in which animals and their humans learn how to visit patients at the end of their life. A registered VITAS Paw Pals SM visitor can offer comfort, bring back memories, encourage activity and provide unconditional love to VITAS patients. Your visits leave behind memories of you and your pet, and rekindle thoughts of other pets. Pet visits can sometimes reach a patient when no one else can. Our Paw Pals SM brightens the day for everyone when they visit. All kinds of pets are invited to join VITAS’ Paw Pals Club. Paw Pals SM must be well-groomed, at least one- year old, and have up-to-date health records. For more information about VITAS visit VITAS.com.

Stitch a Memory Bear. Create a Forever Friend.

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for people who love to sew and who are able to share their skills with hospice patients and families. A Memory Bear, sewn by a volunteer with compassion and love, is a forever friend who can ease a hurting heart after the death of a VITAS hospice patient. Sewn from a favorite pair of jeans, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe or nightgown, a Memory Bear may recall the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress, or offer a sense of security to a child who feels alone after the loss of a parent or sibling. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life.
