98Q's Rich Minor will be broadcasting live

It's 98Q's annual collection of items for local kids in foster care.  Since 2011, you have been so generous in your participation of Bags & Bears.  These gifts will brighten the holidays for so many Connecticut foster children.

Most-needed items this year:  

Gift cards - These are perfect for the older kids & teens in foster care.  Any store, any amount.  These gift cards will be used as holiday presents, but also into 2027 for when a child is placed with a foster family immediately.  This will give that young boy or girl the opportunity to go out and get toys or clothes, and help them feel more settled during a difficult time of change.

Baby items (Onesies, bottles, binkies, diapers) - Clothes for infants are especially needed this year, too.

Also collecting: Toys, backpacks, stuffed animals, books.  All items brand new (gently-used can not be accepted).

Help spread the word of 98Q's 16th annual BAGS & BEARS.  Tell your co-workers, friends, neighbors, social media contacts, and your kids sports team. invite them to be a part of it.  And on behalf of our foster children in Connecticut, we thank you so much.
