As one of our Christmas advent activities we hosted a pajama drive for the Pajama Program. The Pajama Program is a wonderful organization that believes every child deserves a good night. One might not think of pjs as a luxury but in fact thousands of children in our country go to sleep each night without the comfort of wearing pajamas. This was our second year hosting a pajama drive and it was super fun and successful. Each guest that donated a pair of pjs got a Christmas cookie and some hot chocolate as a thank you. Next week my kids will donate all of the pajamas they collected to a local shelter where they will pass out our donated items to some very deserving children. If you are looking for a fun and easy way to get your kids involved in a philanthropic project, why not host your own pajama drive?
