Project Night Night
I don’t remember where I first heard about Project Night Night, but I am forever thankful that I did. This is a cause that I really love and support. After reading, if you feel called to do so, please donate.
From their press materials: “Founded in 2005, Project Night Night (PNN) is an awardwinning Bay Area-based nonprofit organization that equips children ages 0–12 living in homeless and low-income situations with the essentials they need to be ready to learn, to feel less stressed, and to be reminded of their value. While meeting the immediate needs of disadvantaged children, Project Night Night also sets a foundation for lasting change by providing meaningful, hands-on volunteer opportunities to hundreds of individuals and organizations each year.”
From their “about” page: “Our mission is to provide free Night Night Packages to homeless children from birth to pre-teen who need our childhood essentials to have a concrete and predictable source of security and increased exposure to high-quality literacy materials during this time of upheaval .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.”
