“The children were nestled, all snug in their beds…”
Are you looking for a great way to get your kids involved in giving back this holiday season?
Please consider supporting two Wayland moms in providing pajamas for underserved children in Lowell, MA.
4th Annual Project Pajama
Kim Bruno and Giselle Shardlow founded Project Pajama after Kim learned that a high school classmate of hers, who is now a teacher in Lowell, needed help collecting pajamas for her students. Their aim is to provide 300 pairs of children’s pajamas to families in need. They hope to provide warmth and comfort to ensure a better night&#s sleep that will lead to a more healthy and productive life.
How to Help Kim and Giselle are collecting brand-new, unwrapped girls and boys pajamas, sizes 6 to16, from November 21st through December 12th. Please place donations of new pajamas in the holiday wrapped boxes outside of their homes. May we all be a bit warmer this season—whether it is because of a new pair of pajamas or because of doing a good deed.
Donation Locations
Kim Bruno: 1 Pheasant Run
Giselle Shardlow: 22 Shaw Drive
