Partnership gives 2,000 teddy bears to foster children

By Doug Hogan, Anya Armes Weber

Frankfort, KY - A gift of teddy bears is helping to make winter a bit warmer for some children in need. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services' (CHFS) Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) has 2,000 handmade teddy bears that social services staff can use to help comfort children during crisis situations.

The bears were sewn by male inmates at the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in LaGrange and were offered to DCBS through a partnership with the Kentucky Department of Corrections. Luther Luckett started the program in 2014, providing inmates with a way to give back to the community, and seven inmates are currently participating.

"This program serves the dual purpose of helping children in need while teaching our inmates about empathy, kindness and the importance of community," said Kentucky Justice Secretary John Tilley. "Many of these inmates endured similar experiences as children, and I want to commend the Department of Corrections and DCBS on this innovative partnership."

When Adair County School District students return to classes on Monday, January 2, 2017, another major chapter in the transformation of the Adair County School Campus will have hopefully taken place, with the razing of the J.T. Coomer School Bus Garage, a structure which served the system well for many decades, but which became woefully inadequate in today's world of bigger, more efficient buses.
