New Life Supports The Pajama Program - February 13, 2009

The Pajama Program operates year round, serving children living in shelters, without permanent homes, and/or below poverty level by providing these children with new, warm pajamas and books.

This year, New Life participated in the San Jose/Fairmont Hotel Pajama Drive for the first time this year. Between donations from New Life members, a generous allocation by the New Life Compassion Committee and some shrewd sale shopping(!), New Life was able to provide the program with 107 pairs of pajamas. Most of these are the larger sizes that are so much needed for teens and young adults served by the program.

In Northern California, The Pajama Program serves children through the following local organizations:

• Children's Shelter Santa Clara County - San Jose
  
• Edgewood Center for Children & Families - San Mateo
  
• Future Families - San Jose
  
• Next Door Solutions - San Jose


• Rebel Family Shelter/Homeless Services Center - Santa Cruz


• And many more throughout the Bay Area
