We always have a good time helping other agencies accomplishing their missions while assisting our clients in the process.
One such program is the Pajama Project in New York. A few months ago, the Franklin office was contacted to join the Pajama project in their quest to give away 500,000 pairs of pajamas in 2012. They sent new pajamas along with books to distribute to our youth.
It is so much fun when you see the kids pick out their own pj’s and books. You can just picture the kids cuddling up and reading their new books prior to going to bed each night.
Then this past month this program again contacted us to see if we could give away books. So, right now we are giving away about 150 books to the kids, which came at a great time since school just let out.
There are titles ranging from ‘The Bridge to Teribitha’ to ‘Spiderwick’.
Children, mothers and grandmothers get involved in this program, and it is fun to see the excitement on the children’s faces, especially knowing that they will enjoy reading the books as much as we enjoy giving the books.
