Project Teddy Bear & Friends Nonprofit

Gloryland Ministries is accepting donations of NEW and gently loved teddy bears and other stuffed animals!

We collect stuffed animals of all sizes, all year long. The stuffed animals that are donated are washed, and prayer tags are added with a ribbon.  The stuffed animals are redistributed year-round to individuals, organizations, church groups, schools, and hospitals.

If you would like to donate to the cause, we would appreciate stuffed animals that are furry, cute, cuddly and HUGGABLE. Please no scary looking animals!

Donations can be sent to or left in the drop box on the front porch of:

We reached our goal of receiving 20,000 stuffed animal donations in our first 10 years on November 6th, 2017!
We had a total of 23,509 donations in the first 11 years!
We are working on our second 20,000 goal and hope to reach it before our 20th year anniversary.
