4-H Pajama Drive for Kids in Foster Care underway with 9 collection locations in Carson City
Carson City 4-H is holding its 5th Annual Pajama Drive For Kids in Foster Care. We are collecting new pajamas in all sizes and styles for the CASA of Carson City Foster Kids’ Closet to be distributed to local children. Larger children's and adult sizes for teens are especially needed.
The PJ Drive was first held in 2018, with a collection bin at the UNR Cooperative Extension Office. Twenty pairs of PJs were donated. In 2019, 33 pairs of PJs were donated.
In 2020, thanks to 2 additional collection bins hosted by Alisa Andrews at Charles Kitchen Realty and Summer and Jade Anderson at The Mix Nutrition, 108 pairs of PJs were donated! In 2021, the PJ Drive expanded to collection bins at 6 locations! A total of 236 pairs of PJs were collected, more than double the 2020 total!
Thank you to everyone who donated!
