Teddy Bears For Kids, Inc. – “Give a child a new friend”. A charity that gives new stuffed Teddy Bears to children in need. In conjunction with the Florida Society of Enrolled Agents (FSEA) the stuffed animals are collected by the 800+ members and brought to the annual convention in June of each year. Last year over 800 bears were collected.
The bears are then taken back to local communities and distributed to hospitals, Kids in Distress, rehab centers or to any organization for children in need. Help to put a smile on a child’s face.
SFS takes back as many bags as will fit in the SUV and promptly brings them to the Treasure Coast Hospice. We appreciate any donation of new bEArs or a cash donation to purchase the animals. For your convenince, both SFS offices are a drop off point for bears or donations. Feel free to drop by and “Help us help a child who needs a new friend”.
