How can I apply for my child to receive services from Bear Necessities?

When did Bear Necessities begin?
The program was placed in the heart of a mom in the fall of 2010 because she longed to teach her children to be like Jesus by actually doing what Jesus did and serving those in need. It began serving children in August of 2011. To read the journey to get it started please read here.
