❤️🧸❤️🧸 We can {bear-ly} contain our excitement over this donation of 70 teddy bears for our food pantry families! Big ol’ bear hugs go to Osher Lifelong Learning Institute-OLLI at Southern Miss peer instructor Annette Sowell for organizing this thoughtful 🧸 drive in conjunction with her class about President Teddy Roosevelt.

This generous, compassionate donation from OLLI members is bringing big smiles to lots of little faces this week! ❤️🧸❤️🧸

A teddy bear drive at the University of Southern Mississippi is turning a childhood favorite into a little extra comfort for local families.
