Last year, the BEARing Gifts toy drive spread holiday cheer to more than 29,000 children in need across the Greater Houston area. This year, the need has increased significantly. With your help, we can make sure every child in need has a new toy this holiday season. <\/p>\n
BEAR stands for Be a Resource. <\/a>The organization provides comfort items and necessities for children in foster care or those in families requiring the involvement of Child Protective Services (CPS). When children are entering the foster care system, they typically have the clothes on their backs and not much more. BEAR\u2019s warehouse in Houston\u2019s Garden Oaks area gives caseworkers items to help children in these critical situations. BEAR provides things like new clothing, diapers, hygiene items, duffel bags, toys, car seats and more. <\/p>\n Here is how you can help: <\/b><\/p>\n KPRC 2 has partnered with Nava Law Group and American Furniture Warehouse to collect toys benefiting BEAR\u2019s BEARing Gifts program.<\/a> Please consider donating a new, unwrapped toy at one of the locations below.
