Use your sewing talents to bring comfort and lasting memories to families.

A Memory Bear is a handcrafted keepsake made from the clothing of a loved one who has passed. These bears provide families with a tangible, comforting reminder of someone they cherish. We are looking for compassionate, detail-oriented sewing volunteers to join our Memory Bear Program and help create these meaningful gifts.

What You'll Do

  • Sew Memory Bears using materials provided by families (such as shirts, robes, or blankets)
  • Follow supplied patterns, or use your own sewing expertise
  • Handle cherished clothing with care and respect
  • Create a beautiful, comforting keepsake for families grieving the loss of a loved one

What We're Looking For

  • Skilled sewing enthusiasts — machine or hand-sewing experience welcomed
  • Ability to work independently and complete projects within a reasonable time
  • Respectful, compassionate individuals who handle sentimental items with care
  • Willingness to attend volunteer orientation and follow program guidelines

Why Volunteer?

  • Use your creative talent to make a profound difference in someone's healing journey
  • Flexible volunteer opportunity you can complete from home
  • Meaningful, heart-centered work that brings comfort during difficult times
  • Become part of a supportive and caring volunteer community
