Teddy Bear Brigade

Help us share a little comfort and hope with children experiencing difficult circumstances.

Burke UMC is collecting stuffed animals for Gleaning For the World, a Concord, Virginia-based organization that distributes new and gently used stuffed animals to children affected by natural disasters, war, family crises, and other challenging situations. Stuffed animals are also provided to first responders to share with children in times of need.

Please bring your new or gently loved stuffed animals to Burke UMC. We ask for a $1 donation per stuffie to help Gleaning For the World cover the cost of shipping these gifts to communities around the world.
