COLORADO SPRINGS â A simple toy like a teddy bear can provide comfort to a child in a stressful situation. A local church recognized that and is donating thousands of bears to those who need it most.
Rock Family Church and its church members in Colorado Springs raised money to buy 5,000 bears recently. The bears will be donated to local first responders including the police department, fire department and Sheriff s office. First responders will give the bears to kids they encounter, who may have been in a car accident or been a victim of a house fire.
