In 2014 we collected and gave away 600 pairs of pajamas to children and adults in need. Most of them to organizations and families we were in touch with during November and December, and the extras to several local organizations that help people in need. In addition to pajamas, we received monetary donations to purchase supplies, wrapping paper, and time from family and friends to help sort, wrap, and deliver pajamas. Our dining room table was covered in pajamas, boxes, labels, spreadsheets, and filled with family and friends helping me to sort, wrap, and deliver. We had so much fun, and cannot wait for 2015!
Plaid Pajamas continues to collect, distribute, and grow each year! We now have friends and family in Pittsburgh, New Haven, and other cities organizing their own collections and distributions! Follow us on Facebook to see our collection announcements and milestones each season! |
