This is a program that delivers stuffed bears to hospitalized children during the holidays. To give a sick child a bear hug this Christmas, please drop off  your donated bears by December 14 at Heavenly Presents, 22697 Washington Street (on the Square), Leonardtown, Maryland. Store hours are Tuesday through Saturday, or use the after-hours drop box outside the store front door. Your tax-deductible monetary donations will be used to purchase bears at a discounted price! Please make checks payable to the Bread of  Life Center for Peace and mail them to:  PO Box 338, Leonardtown, MD  20650.

You may also purchase a bear or make monetary donations by clicking the image on the left. Due to health and safety concerns, donated bears must be newly purchased and delivered in their original packing with store tags attached. Sorry, used stuffed bears are not accepted by the hospitals. 

Bear Hugs was an inspiration received in thanksgiving for favors granted through the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima and St. Jude. Please contact Patricia DiSandro at 301-922-2043 for more details about how you can participate in this special outreach. 

Thank you for your continued generous support of Bear Hugs!
