Bartell Drugs is helping to give “bear hugs” to children in stressful or traumatic situations as the drugstore chain hosts its annual “Teddy Bear Patrol” campaign.
All 58 Bartell Drugs locations will be collecting stuffed bears through March 30. Donors can purchase an official “Bartell Bear” for $7 and Bartell Drugs will donate a second bear to the campaign, or bring in any new or gently used bear, under 12 inches tall.
The annual drive puts teddy bears in the hands of community police departments, hospitals and emergency response teams so they may give bears to children involved in challenging situations. Over 74,000 bears have been collected over this past several years.
