A simple thing like a new pair of pajamas is not so simple for a child in need — especially during the holiday season. You can make a difference by donating the comfort of new pajamas to children in your community.
Pajama Jams is an organization providing new pajamas to children in need. Since 2008, over 20,000 children in Hampton Roads, VA and Wilmington, NC received a new pair of pajamas from Pajama Jams. As the need has grown, so has the need for extended support. In addition to donating pajamas or becoming a sponsor, please consider a cash donation of any size. Your gift will help us reach more children than ever before, protecting their right to a peaceful, comforting night’s sleep.
