The Volunteer Center has served South Bay and surrounding communities for over 60 years. Founded in 1994, Operation Teddy Bear helps address community needs by providing over 4000 school bags annually to first graders in under-resourced schools in Los Angeles and Long Beach Unified School districts. Each child will be provided with a brightly colored school bag that includes reading books, S.T.E.A.M. kits, coloring books, learning clocks, paint sets, pencils, math flashcards, a toothbrush, and, of course, a Teddy Bear.
We are so excited that you will be joining us in the Open Hearts Movement. With the help of people like you, we will help these children understand that there are people in their community who care.
