Thanks to Carrie Wynkoop for introducing me to this great organization.

Project Night Night

“Project Night Night donates over 25,000 Night Night Packages each year, free of charge, to homeless children who need our childhood essentials to feel secure, cozy, ready to learn, and significant.  Each Night Night Package contains a new security blanket, an age-appropriate children’s book, and a stuffed animal — all nestled inside of a new canvas tote bag.  By providing objects of reliable comfort, Project Night Night  reduces trauma and advances the emotional and cognitive well-being of the children we serve.

“Every child who receives one of our Night Night Packages leaves the shelter owning a book which encourages reading and family bonding, a security blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuffed animal which can become a cherished friend.  We have one objective – to deliver our Night Night Packages to every homeless child in the country who needs one.”

That’s an awesome objective.
