Baby Bear this month!
I’m so grateful for the volunteers who came tonight. Some volunteers had to be over an hour late but still fought traffic and showed up to make a difference in the lives of our Norwood neighbors! We had lots of guests and even 5 first time Baby Bear families. One grandma showed up, who we knew her son and his baby from 4 years ago. They had left the community and now Grandma and baby are back to Baby Bear and, of course, very welcome!
Hylant Insurance who provides for the Shepherd Companies sponsored our meal tonight. It was Chipotle Buffet! So delicious! Thanks for the treat Lainie and Vince!🩷

Baby Bear ministers to our Norwood Community, by providing every kind of gear a 0-5 year old child care provider would need. It’s ran by volunteers and donations. We provide a meal and community time as well. Last night 38 families were registered, Roger Sanders and his wife Jerri from Grace and Truth Church Cincinnati provided the meal, an all American cook out! Thank you.
Sherri Willin Terry supplied the table decorations and snacks for the registry room.
Lyz, Ashley and their team did all the operations work preparing the “shop” for comfortable ease in shopping. Nina Eli is a shopper who stays late and helps us clean up afterwards. John Jane Holiday provide man power in entertaining children while their parents shop, and as personal shoppers, as dinner companions and translating for our Spanish speaking neighbors and help with clean up.
Lois Schneider is a personal shopper who many shoppers and volunteers look forward to catching up with on a monthly basis.
THANKS to those listed and the many more who serve at Baby Bear. 🐻
Last night we saw many of our regular shoppers, some new shoppers and a 1 week old baby!
The kids played basketball, rode scooters, made crafts played on toddler toys and ate plenty of snacks while their care providers shopped.
Many of us who serve say that while we are praying and hoping our shoppers experience shalom we find much peace in serving as well.
Stay tuned, Baby Bear will be celebrating its 100th shopping event in Norwood in a few months!
