Each year, the Assistance League of Atlanta provides cuddly "Little AL" bears to around a dozen local organizations to help comfort frightened children during crisis situations. One organization these bears have truly impacted is Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where the Assistance League's longstanding support has resulted in thousands of children receiving bears to provide comfort during their time at the hospital.

Recently, Assistance League members delivered hundreds of bears to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite to ensure the hospital's supply would remain stocked. Several patients were thrilled to receive bears from Assistance League members, and other bears were stored to be shared with future Children's patients.
