Avon Country Deli Adds Teddy Bears to Operation Snuggle Newtown

Thank you, Avon and Connecticut! Take a look at all the hugs you donated to send to Newtown.

Bob Kaczmarczyk, owner of Avon Country Deli, was more than happy to offer his place of business as a drop-off point for Patch's Operation Snuggle Newtown.

The deli contributed 27 donated bears to the cause, which will benefit Newtown children as well as Connecticut state troopers, who will hand out the bears to children at the scene of traumatic events.

Thank you all for your support and participation in this project.
