BRUNSWICK — Mid Coast Hospital junior volunteers are sponsoring a bake sale Tuesday to benefit the Teddy Bear Club, which provides stuffed furry friends to young patients.
The sale will be held in the Café Corridor beginning at 9 a.m. until noon, depending on how long the baked goods last. All baked goods will be packaged in cellophane bags and tied with bright ribbons. Almost 40 junior volunteers are baking, packaging and selling their special treats, under the direction of Caroline Ducharme, junior volunteer coordinator. The Teddy Bear Club is a project of the Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary, which provides a free teddy bear or other stuffed toy to young patients. A news release states that a new furry friend can make a visit to the emergency department more bearable for children. In addition to junior volunteers, many businesses, organizations, schools and individuals contribute to the program. Contributions of baked goods are welcome and may be taken to the Volunteer Services Department on Monday, July 30, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 373-6016 or email volservices@midcoasthealth.com.
