Assistance League of Ventura County

B.U.F.F.Y. Bear

“Bears Understand Friends, Feelings and You.” Through a program initiated in 1989, cuddly bears are provided to the Ventura County District Attorney's office, Santa Paula Fire Department, Police Department, Santa Paula Hospital and Fillmore Fire Department to distribute to comfort and reassure children of all ages experiencing traumatic situations.

Assistance League has received a letter of appreciation and a plaque from the Victim Advocate Division of the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office for supplying bears to the children.

This program is funded and administered by member volunteers who purchase, clothe and deliver the bears. This budget item is funded through chapter fundraising activities. Your donation, fully deductible, should be sent to Assistance League Ventura County, B.U.F.F.Y. Bear Program, 913 East Santa Clara Street, Ventura, CA 93001.
