Weirton Heights Church of Christ
Since 1993, the ladies of the Weirton Heights Church of Christ have been making nine-inch BooBoo Bears as a way to provide some comfort to children, and some adults, who are in distress while at the Weirton Medical Center and other medical facilities and ambulance services.
The number of participants in the bear making process varies from time to time but an average of 20-25 members participate in the program. Many members take the bears home and will complete a single part of the process. At times throughout the year, the ladies of the congregation will meet at the church building to stuff the bears while some ladies will stitch the leg. Then the bears go back into the line of traveling home with someone for additional processes.
The ladies of the congregation enjoy working for the good of the program and this projects helps some of the ladies as much as it helps the recipients of the bears.
A great work. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated by the people receiving the gifts.
How very nice to be able to touch someone in this special way! A Lady in our congregation made lap blankets and put Jesus Loves You on the corner! She took them over to WVU hospital .was so nice to be a part of helping touch lives! The community donated and then they’d gather them up! . Teresa Brown was the one who started the project!
