Bear Hugs: During February, we are gathering stuffed animals for organizations (such as Ronald McDonald House, EWU's Social Work Department, and St. Margaret's Shelter) who distribute them to folks in need of "bear hugs." We welcome donations of new and like-new plush toys; please keep the store tags on new toys, since they can be given to people facing health challenges. When you bring the stuffed animals on Sundays, please tie a "Bear Hug Tag" on each one and sign it. We encourage everyone to sign the tags, letting the receiver know that they are "loved, special, and important,just the way they are."
