The UFCW Local 152 Women’s Network is hosting a Teddy Bear Drive for The Arc of Burlington County.

The Arc is a grassroots organization dedicated to advocating for the rights and full participation of all children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. With over 800 chapters across the United States, The Arc offers assistance to those with Down syndrome and/or learning and developmentally disabled children and adults and supports the families and caregivers of these special individuals.

The Arc of Burlington County, located in Delran, NJ, seeks new teddy bears or stuffed animals to give to their members at their annual holiday party. Our goal is to collect 200 teddy bears or stuffed animals! While shopping this holiday season, please consider picking up a stuffed animal for a worthy cause. Your thoughtful donation will become someone’s new best friend!

Teddy bears and stuffed animals can be dropped off to your Shop Steward and arrangements will be made for pickup. You can also drop your donation off directly to our office at 3120 Fire Road, Suite 201, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234. Please get your donations to our office by Monday, December 1, 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact Danette Montes-Palmore at 1-888-564-6152 ext. 3920.

Thank you for your generous donations and Happy Holidays!
