Corey’s Child Care Will Be Collecting Food Donations at the Teddy Bear Parade
Corey’s Child Care will be marching in the 26th annual Teddy Bear Parade in Historic Downtown Gresham on Saturday, September 27th at 10:00 a.m. The parade will begin at East Hill Church, 401 N Main Ave, and will wind through downtown Gresham, then back to East Hill Church. Groups marching in the parade will be holding, displaying, and even dressed as teddy bears. Hundreds of the furry bears are expected to attend. The Soroptimist holds this parade every year as a fund raiser for women’s education and homeless shelters. 
Corey’s Child Care will also be collecting non-perishable food items for the local Church of Christ Pantry, so please bring something to donate to their mission to keep Gresham families from being hungry this year. Contact Corey’s Child Care at 503-348-1419 for donation locations.
Directly after the parade, the Gresham Downtown Development Association will be holding its annual Bike Safety Fair. This free event begins at noon, and ends at 2 p.m., and will be held in the grassy area near East Hill Church. There will be games, prizes, booths, and free bike helmets for the first 600 kids. For more information on this event call (503)665-3827.
