I love how this digital age that we live in has made it even easier to give back to the community and earth. I have always loved helping others in need, but being a blogger has given me an unprecedented opportunity to create change and influence others worldwide. Partnering with socially conscious companies like Bears for Humanity and organizations enables me to use my platform and voice to help make a difference in the lives of others.
Bears for Humanity
Bears for Humanity is a socially conscious company that was founded on the principle of creating jobs for women as well as supporting children in need. They create and sell toys and gifts that are crafted using only certified organic materials and fair trade practices. Their employees are primarily at-risk women from welfare-to-work programs such as CalWorks in California. Bears for Humanity gives these women an outlet to harness their skills and creativity while contributing to the community in a way that’s more tangible.
Buy One, Give One
A teddy bear is donated to a child in need with every purchase from Bears for Humanity. The children that benefit from this all come from different walks of life, but they all have one thing in common: they can use a heartfelt gift like a teddy bear to help brighten their day. Bears for Humanity have partnered with organizations like Toys for Tots, One Simple Wish, Save the Children, and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford to ensure that each gifted teddy bear is personally delivered with love and care to just the right child.
They partnered with California PAL back in December to distribute 1,000 bears to the children that were affected by the Lake Country fires. Many of the children didn’t know where they were going to live day by day. Hundreds of families were living in makeshift camps at the local school and fairgrounds. The clothes on their backs were their only possessions, yet undoubtedly these teddy bears gave them something to cling to and call their own when they had lost everything to the fire.
Bears for Humanity has a vast selection of teddy bears and animal pals, including the dinosaur, monkey, and giraffe that are featured in this post. Each stuffed animal is hand sewn, stuffed (the stuffing is derived from recycled bottles and caps), and brushed with love and care. Gift-ready, their stuffed animals are then packaged in recycled boxes with the utmost care!

I’ve read about these adorable bears before and I think it’s amazing that you’re able to give to those who need by just simply buying one stuffed toy. Imagine the difference that you’re going to make if you buy more, right?
These are adorable!!! I know my kids would love these bears what a great organization to support.

Thanks so much for sharing this! It isn’t an initiative I’d ever heard of but it sounds so amazing. And what cute stuffed animals!
They are simply adorable and I know quite a few people who would want one. Myself included. I’ll have to check this out.
Those are all so adorable! I love the whole organization too. That’s such a great idea. I think it’s great to help out children in need.
I love this post! The bears are so cute and I love what Bears for Humanity is doing.
I love when I can buy a gift and help out a cause at the same time. I have a few birthdays coming up soon. These would be great gifts.
Awww these little stuffed animals are so cute. I need to buy a couple. What a great cause!
Wow I absolutely love this idea! This melts my heart and I definitely want to take part in this. Thank you so much for sharing!

I love companies that are concerned about social issues. I love the idea of buying one and giving one to a child in need. What a comfort that must bring to them.

Oh my gosh, bears for humanity are not only for a good cause, but they are so super cute! I’m decorating my daughter’s nursery and the giraffe would look so super cute in her new room. I also love that you buy one and they give one. Thanks for introducing me to an amazing cause!
What a genius way to give back to others or pay it forward. They are totally adorable too!
Giving back to people/children who are in need is one of the best ways to help our community. I love the idea to bring the smile to children in need by contributing Teddy Bear and his animal pals.
I think my favorite thing about this is that it is a great teaching opportunity. As our children get to enjoy a new lovey, we can also be showing them the ways that their new toy helps another kid as well. This is such a great initiative and I love that they are getting the press they deserve!
