The teddy bear drive organized Saturday by Scout Troop 127 of Perry was successful, and by Monday many thousands of teddy bears and other plush toys were collected for donation.
“The sheer amount of support from everyone has been absolutely overwhelming!” said a representative from Scout Troop 127 in Perry. “We have had teddy bear deliveries from Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Fort Dodge and all over the metro, and we still have more drop offs/pick ups scheduled.”
The representative said sorting teddy bears at the First United Methodist Church in Perry has been very therapeutic for the Scouts, and the recipients are also very grateful.
