How do I start a donation drive?

To set up a donation drive, visit this link for more information.

General Tips Are:

  1. Select an item(s) to collect. Our biggest need includes items for tweens and teens (clothing, socks, shoes, pajamas, etc.)
  2. Spread the word to friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors about the drive by either posting to social media, flyers, emails, etc.
  3. Remind donors that all items must be new.
  4. Schedule a start and end date for your collection.
  5. Have a central area as a drop-off location.
  6. Lastly, please feel free to drop off your donation anytime Monday – Friday, 9 am – 3 pm at BEAR’s HQ/Warehouse.
