Adopt-A-Bear provides Christmas gifts to children enrolled in Queen Anne’s County public elementary & middle schools free lunch program, The Judy Center, Head Start, The Family Center, and Queen Anne’s County Healthy Families.
“Bear Trees” are displayed at businesses though out Queen Anne’s County with tags sharing a child’s first name, age, clothing sizes, and special requests. Anonymous donors choose a tag from the tree and purchase new items for each child. In this manner, an “invisible pipeline” forms from businesses, through donors and volunteers, to the children, creating a truly magical experience for those who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
