Abes Construction donates teddy bears to comfort children

A Facebook post thanked Abes Construction Company for a donation of teddy bears that the post said will be used to comfort children who are experiencing frightening situations.

The post did not provide further details about the size of the donation or the specific recipients. Abes Construction Company is a construction firm; companies in the construction sector and other local businesses often support community groups through in-kind donations and volunteer efforts.

Stuffed animals and other comfort items are commonly given by first responders, hospitals and social service agencies to help soothe children after traumatic or upsetting events. Such donations can provide immediate comfort, help build trust with caregivers and emergency personnel, and ease the process of communicating with young children during stressful incidents.

We will provide more information as it becomes available.
