Soft Toys Collected for the Doll Dr. program in Colorado Springs
Recently the Mary Wollstonecraft Chapter in Colorado Springs made a delivery of all the soft toys and dolls they had been collecting to the the Doll Dr.'s located at the First Lutheran Church in the Downtown area. This program takes gently used dolls and soft toys, makes clothes and blankets for them and then distributes them to children in need, in various situations, at Christmas time.
Not ourselves, but the cause
The Daughters of the British Empire (DBE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit American society of women of British or Commonwealth birth or ancestry. We share and promote our British heritage while supporting local charities and our four senior living facilities across the US.
