TEDI BEAR relies on community donations to ensure that children receive the best possible care when visiting our center following concerns of child abuse or neglect. We accept donations of teddy bears as well as financial gifts which are used for various purposes.
These include:
-
age appropriate games, activities, and toys for children while they are awaiting their appointment
-
snacks for children who have extended appointments
-
facility enhancements and equipment
-
trainings for staff, professionals, and the community about child abuse and neglect
Organizations, clubs, or groups can support our center through fundraisers, teddy bear drives, or by volunteering during community outreach events in April (child abuse prevention month).
Please contact Julie Ocker, Director of TEDI BEAR CAC, for more information.
