The Texas Wesleyan School of Arts and Sciences is collecting new toy bears and friends for the Fort Worth Police Department's East Division. Officers share the bears and other stuffed animals with children in crisis situations. Deliver captured bears to the dean's office, room #256 in Polytechnic United Methodist Church, by Friday, Dec. 12.

279 bears and friends have been collected so far, but your help is still needed to reach the goal of 300+!

Call Patricia Ersland at 817-531-4900 with any questions or email her here.
