This is the sixth year local Christian radio station KSBJ-89.3 has collected stuffed animals for a very worthwhile cause. The Hug-a-Bear drive provides cuddly stuffed animals for HPD officers to give to children faced with a frightening situation, whether it be a car accident, domestic violence, whatever.
Several HPD officers have been on-air to explain how invaluable a stuffed animal can be to comfort a child. It’s a small gesture, but one that can make a big difference in a child’s life in a moment of crisis.
Donations of huggable stuffed animals can be made at any Greater Houston-area YMCA through March 3rd.
