Creating adoption boxes for children recently adopted can make a profound difference in their transition to a new home and family! These thoughtful packages filled with comforting items and essentials can provide a sense of belonging and security during a time of change. Items like stuffed animals, blankets, and books can offer emotional support and reassurance to the child, helping them feel loved and welcomed into their new environment. By coming together to create adoption boxes, YOU can play a tangible role in supporting these children and families, making a positive impact on their journey towards building a loving and stable home!
Putting together an age-appropriate adoption box is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Get started today by following this easy guide!
NOTE: Please remember to select a box that will accommodate all donated items, leave the box open (not sealed) when dropping off at BEAR HQ, and please ensure that all items inside the box are new items.
In each box, please add stuffing/crinkly paper at the bottom of the box!
