Santa Clarita residents came by Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s Donate-A-Bear Drive, where new stuffed animals were dropped off to give to pediatric patients in the Emergency Department as a form of comfort. In addition to donating, those who participated could spend time with Henry the bear, while enjoying hot cocoa in the rainy weather.
Community members can donate a bear year-round to the Volunteer Services Department at Henry Mayo, where bears or stuffed-animals should measure 9 to 12 inches.Â
