Homes are our business. But there are people this holiday season who are without a home. They are without the security, the warmth, and the comfort that a home can bring.
When Rose-Colored Staging decided to decorate the front lobby of Weichert, Realtors in Burlington, NJ , we also decided to use it to donate to those less fortunate. We looked for a local shelter and came across Providence House, a shelter that offers refuge to victims of domestic violence. These victims often include little children.
"May Your Home Be Filled with Warmth & Love this Holiday Season"
I remember, as a little girl, the comfort and protection I felt from my Teddy Bear. It was one of my most treasured stuffed animals! So we decorated the lobby with a collection of Teddy Bears, all brand-new just waiting to go into the arms of a child.
All Teddy Bears donated between now and Tuesday, December 22nd, will be donated to Providence House for the children there. I am hoping our display grows as we bring in more Teddy Bears!
If you would like to donate a brand-new Teddy Bear, please bring it to:
Weichert, Realtors, 2313 Burlington Mt. Holly Rd., Burlington, NJ 08016
Hours: M-F 8:30a-9:00p, Sat. 8:30a-6p, Sun. 10a-5p
Have a Beautiful Holiday Season!

Michele- a beautiful lobby and an even more beautiful act of Christmas spirit. Let us know how many you end up collecting.
I just had a talk with my 6-year old son. He had some stuffed animals in his room. I let him know that I used to sleep with my teddy bear at his age, and now he loves to sleep with his two stuffed friends. Heck, I think I'd still use one! ;) At least the bears don't wake up with bad breath.
Michele,
What better way to give this season than to share your heart by donating a teddy bear to a child in need!
Kathy: This is the third year we've decorated the lobby but the first it occurred to me to use it to help others! Now I keep wondering why I didn't think of it sooner! Thanks for your comment and thanks also for the reblog!
Steve: A cuddly teddy bear is indeed a treasure! Everyone should have one! :-)
Michelle: It really struck me that there are children caught up in very bad situations and how sad it must be especially over Christmas. I hope these Teddy Bears bring much comfort.
