AccentCare Hospice serves patients and families across the greater St. Louis Area. We are in search of volunteers with a gift for sewing, knitting or crocheting to make blankets, memory bears, pillows, fidget blankets, or other handmade items for our patients and their loved ones. These are just a few of the ways volunteers in our organization support our patients, families, and staff.

Even if you only have a few hours a month to give, we would be honored to have you join our team and support our mission of offering compassionate, personalized hospice care. Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find ways to share your gifts with those at the end of life.
