The Boston Bruins Pajama Drive is being held from February 1 through March 15, Seekonk Library will once again partner with the Boston Bruins to coordinate official Town drop-off locations for the collection of new pajamas for children living in low-income and homeless situations. This will be our 8th year participating in this worthwhile program.
Program details can be found below, as well as on the attached flyer.
New pajamas donations in sizes 0/3 months through teen are gratefully accepted with a particular need for pajamas for older children and teens. Donations may be left in the collection box in the lobby at Seekonk Library (and possibly at Town Hall and Human Services) through March 15. Pajamas will then be distributed by the organization Cradles to Crayons to children who "don’t know the comforting feeling of putting on PJs before settling down to sleep."
The statewide goal for the 6-week drive is 10,000 pairs with the Town's goal being 160 pairs. We hope to increase this goal with the ongoing help of our residents, and with departmental participation as well.
This project is a collaboration between Seekonk Public Library, the Boston Bruins, Cradles to Crayons®, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, and Wonderfund. The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) works with the Boston Bruins to coordinate library participation in the drive.
