Our 16th Annual Cozy Nights of Comfort Pajama Drive was another incredible year of giving, community support, and spreading warmth to children in need. Thanks to the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners, we collected over 1,000 pairs of pajamas, ensuring that children across our region could experience the comfort of a good night’s sleep.

Community Support That Made It Happen

This year’s drive would not have been possible without the incredible support from our drop-off locations. A special thank you to Be You Yoga and Bamboo Institute of Yoga, they not only served as a collection site but also hosted our sorting and counting efforts. We also had the help of dedicated volunteers from Kids Helping Kids, the Sea Turtle Chapter, Mother-Daughter Organization, and the Norfolk Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., all of whom played a huge role in making this year’s drive a success.

Spreading Warmth Across the Community

Through our partnerships with local schools and nonprofits, we were able to distribute pajamas to children at Rachel Freeman School of Engineering, Norfolk public Schools and Virginia Beach Public Schools where students received a cozy new pair just in time for Christmas. Additionally, we participated in Christmas at the Cove in partnership with the Harrelson Center, ensuring children in need had warm pajamas for the holidays. We were also proud to provide pajamas to The Foster Pantry and FOR KIDS,  supporting children in foster care.

Recognizing Our Grantors: Landfall Foundation

A special thank you to the Landfall Foundation, Wilmington for their generous grant, which allowed us to expand our reach in New Hanover County and provide even more children with the comfort of pajamas. Their support is instrumental in making Pajama Jams possible, and we are incredibly grateful for their partnership.

Looking Ahead to 2025

We are beyond thankful for every individual, business, and organization that contributed to the success of our 2024 Cozy Nights of Comfort Pajama Drive. As we look ahead to our 2025 drive, we invite businesses to sign up as drop-off locations, sponsors to help us expand our impact, and volunteers to continue making a difference in the lives of children. If you’re interested in being involved, or becoming a sponsor, please reach out—we’d love to have you as part of our Pajama Jams family!

Thank you again for making bedtime a little warmer for children in need.
