Press Release: The Teddy Bear Village Launches Holiday Helpers Program to Support Metrowest Children in Need

Dec 9, 2024

Framingham, MA – The Teddy Bear Village (TBV), a bilingual childcare center in Framingham, just proudly launched The Teddy Bear Village Holiday Helpers Program, an initiative dedicated to spreading joy to children in need in Massachusetts. With donations going to Cradles to Crayons in the Metrowest area, this program aims to bring the community together to make a meaningful impact this holiday season.

Through The Teddy Bear Village Holiday Helpers Program, the Framingham childcare facility is asking families, friends, and community members to donate new and like-new essential items for local children facing difficult circumstances. Contributions will help provide winter clothing, books, school supplies, hygiene products, and other necessities, ensuring that every child can enjoy the comfort and security they deserve.

“The holidays are a time of giving, and we want to deeply inspire our community to make a difference in the lives of children who need it most,” said Evando Ananias, Co-Owner at The Teddy Bear Village. “Organizing a drive for Cradles to Crayons allows us to nurture children in a different way than we typically do every other day of the year.”

The program reflects The Teddy Bear Village’s mission to help and care for children, not only within TBV’s educational setting but also throughout TBV’s community. By supporting The Teddy Bear Village Holiday Helpers Program, participants can make the holidays a little brighter for local children while fostering a spirit of giving and kindness.

Supporters can visit The Teddy Bear Village’s Holiday Helpers webpage for details on the most-needed items and how to get involved. Donors can purchase items off of the Program’s Amazon Wishlist or they can drop off new or like-new items at either of TBV’s Framingham locations:
