Chester Bear Ladies
The Chester Bear Ladies make fabric bears which are donated to the Chester County Hospital where they are used in the Emergency Room.
The recipients are the children who come into the Emergency Room at the Hospital. They are scared, are sometimes in pain, and are always in need of something for comfort. They are each given a bear to hug during their visit and to take home afterward. They donate 40-50 bears a month.
“We enjoy donating to the community, especially to the children. We often hear stories about how much our bears mean to the children who receive them. In addition, and somewhat selfishly, we have fun getting together to make the bears and to share what is going on in our lives from month to month.” shared Donel Manke.
