Sleep Country Pajama Drive for Foster Kids Begins Jan. 2

Sleep Country is preparing for a pajama drive for foster kids, starting Monday, Jan. 2.

Foster children often enter foster care with very few possessions of their own, and as foster parents handle other expenses, comfort items like cozy pajamas are often neglected. Help make sure Washington and Oregon’s 20,000 foster kids sleep tight by donating new PJs to Sleep Country’s annual Pajama Drive for Foster Kids. Sleep Country will be collecting donations of new pajamas in any size between Jan. 2 and Feb.26, 2012.

Donations of new pajamas in all sizes can be dropped off at any Sleep Country store. Sleep Country stores are located in Issaquah, at 730 NW Gilman Blvd., Ste C-110, and 1810 12th Ave NW, Ste B.

Store hours are M-F 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Cash donations can also be made online and Sleep Country representatives will shop on your behalf. All contributions are distributed among Sleep Country’s foster care partner organizations.
