Opportunity Details

Sewing for Hospice of the Valley

You don't have to be a seamstress or a tailor to positively impact the clients at Hospice of the Valley! With just a needle and some thread, you can restore dignity and self-esteem to individuals living with dementia.

Every third Friday volunteers will be needed to sew bias tape onto bath ponchos that are used by CNAs and caregivers that bring dignity to the patients. Your time and talent will leave a lasting impression on everyone at Hospice of the Valley! All skill levels are welcome to participate in this simple but worthwhile project.

* We recommend that you bring your own sewing machine, as there are limited ones at the project site. Also, we find that volunteers prefer the familiarity of using their own machine.

* Volunteer are encouraged to donate fabric (please no bug or baby prints), large bath towels (solid color, stripes or polka dots preferred) and supplies such as ribbons bias tape, Velcro, tirm, elastic, etc. Chances are that anything you have just laying around can be put to use! However, supplies are readily available for the project. Beverages and all sewing notions are provided.

The minimum age to volunteer is 12 with a parent/guardian.  All Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Volunteers ages 16 and 17 who wish to attend a project without a parent/guardian MUST bring a Youth Waiver, signed by a parent or guardian, to each project. The sewing project is held in the 2 story building at Hospice of the Valley at the SUNSET ROOM. Parking is available in the parking lot - covered or uncovered.

By signing up for volunteer opportunities and not attending, you may be depriving someone else the chance to participate and Hospice of the Valley of much-needed support. Please note that in an effort to accommodate volunteers who sign up for opportunities by choice, HandsOn does NOT accept court ordered volunteers and will NOT sign off on any court-related documents.
