Project Teddy Bear

Hey I am collecting stuffed animals For the Famuly Support & Treatment Center in Orem and Midvale. If any of you have any stuffed animals you would like to get rid of please let me know I will be taking them down this Saturday. Anything will help please donate!

What it is.......

Both centers have the mission of preventing and treating child abuse through education, therapy and outreach. Crisis nurseries are available for children who have been abused, are in danger of being abused or are awaiting placement in a foster home. A soft teddy bear to hug during these times of trauma or loneliness is a great comfort to the children. At-risk children also undergo therapy sessions at the centers throughout the year. A teddy bear gives them something to hold during sessions, provides much-needed comfort and helps in the healing process. It may also be the only
Christmas present a child receives.

Last year,
Bank of American Fork collected more than 6,000 stuffed animals. Sadly, that was not enough to provide a stuffed animal to each child that walked through the centers’ doors. Each center sees an average of 50 children each day.
