Delivering Sleepwear and Nurturing Books to Children in Need
Now imagine the opportunity to fix that for them. Imagine the chance to give a child a new pair of pajamas and a good book, to make the end of a long hard day a little softer. For a child with little, a soft pair of jammies can simply mean that someone cared.

The Pajama Program
The Official Website
- Welcome to Pajama Program!
- The Pajama Program, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, provides new, warm pajamas and books to children in need in the United States, and around the world, many who are waiting and hoping go be adopted. These are youngsters who may not know the comforts of a mother or father to tuck them into a cozy bed and read them a bedtime story. Too many have been abandoned, most deprived of any love at all.

- This is a great program using a simple comfort of life, pajamas. An item that could easily be taken for granted by most. This makes me think of how much I enjoyed the comforts of bedtime as a child, and how my kids love their bedtime routine. This lens should make readers stop and smell the roses.
