Sew a plushie
It starts with you.
With your help, we can help change lives, one plushie at a time.
Ways to help
Pick the one that fits.
Path one
Sew a plushie
Print the same bear pattern our students use and sew one by hand from recycled fabric. The full six-step tutorial is free.
Path two
Donate plushies
Send gently used stuffed animals. We sort, repair and rehome them, so nothing donated goes to waste.
Path three
Run a drive
Collect plushies at your school, workplace or place of worship, and we will arrange the drop-off or pickup.
Path four
Start a chapter
Bring PWP to your own high school and lead the sewing, lettering and delivery where you live.
