Chinook Regional Hospital looking for teddy bear donations
Who doesn’t love teddy bears? Well, the Chinook Regional Hospital’s pediatric and emergency departments have run out of stuffed animals. To ensure children continue to receive comfort through the gift of a new toy during their hospital visit, Alberta Health Services (AHS) Volunteer Resources is now accepting donations of new teddy bears and stuffed animals.
Colin Zieber, Senior Operating Officer and CRH’s operational lead, says the community is invited to drop off donations until November 16 in the bin located at the south end of the hospital atrium.
Teddy bears are provided annually by toy drives such as the Lethbridge Hurricane’s Teddy Bear Toss and the Southern Alberta Bikers’ Teddy Bear Ride.
