Thanks to our members who once again have supported our "bear drive" for children. Since mid-February stuffed animals - not just bears but even elephants and dogs - have found their way to us. On Palm Sunday they will go to children in the care of the Child Department of Safety and Genesis House to children of domestic violence. Our love will go with them.
As you can see from these pictures, we have lots of loving gifts to share with many wonderful and appreciative children.
Receiving the bears on Palm Sunday were:
Carol Punske - The Division of Child Safety of Pima County.
Monica Durand - AVIVA (Volunteer organization that assists children in the care of Department of Child Services).
Patti O'Berry - Founder and CEO of Hands of a Friend and Genesis House.
