Teddy Bear Donations to Israel
Since October 7, 2023, we’ve traveled to Israel on different missions to provide care, comfort, and support in the form of teddy bears and kind notes to children who were displaced by the war. To date, we’ve donated over 5,000 bears to places such as Sderot, Nova, Hostage Square, and Shalva. Bear Givers’ Chairman and Founder, Joseph Sprung, and President, Michele Mirman, also met with displaced children from Kibbutz Nir Oz and sent bears to our longtime partner, United Hatzalah. In the wake of this heartbreaking conflict, we feel gratitude to be able to do our part to fight against hatred and division while providing a caring gesture to those who need it most during these devastating times. We additionally extend a big thank you to Stuart Katz who has helped transport the bears and messages into the arms of children in Israel.
