The Naples Methodist Church of Good Fellowship is collecting new teddy bears, stuffed animals and Beanie Babies for children in crisis and patients with memory issues.
The “comforters” will be given to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s and Naples fire/rescue departments to give to the children. Comforters will also be given to the activity director at Woodlands Memory Care in Bridgton to share with the patients.
The church plans to collect the items from Wednesday, Oct. 4 until Saturday, Oct. 28 at its drop-off site at the 1000 Roosevelt Trail church. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays, 4-8 p.m. Thursdays and 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays.
A pancake breakfast will be held from 7-10 a.m. Saturday, Oct 14 at the church.
Finally, the church is celebrating “A Blessing of the Bears” and other “critters” on Sunday, Nov. 5 at the United Methodist Church of Good Fellowship. The service begins at 9 a.m.; all are welcome.
