Our Mission

The mission of Zac’s Zoo is to provide children in turmoil, with a brand new stuffed animal. When children are faced with scary situations, they gravitate to something which provides comfort...typically a stuffed animal. When you are a child, having a stuffed animal is like having a friend or family member you can always rely on, talk to, love, and be loved unconditionally, no matter what.

Brand new stuffed animals will be collected by Zac’s Zoo, then delivered to local Fire and Police First Responders, who will give a child in crisis a comforting stuffed animal. For example, comforting a child in an ambulance, assisting police when helping a child in a violent domestic situation, or providing support to a child testifying in court against an abuser.

NEW stuffed animals should be shipped to: Zac’s Zoo, 1954 First St., Suite 243, Highland Park IL 60035
