The Union Home & School Club is sponsoring a pajama and book drive for Pajama Program. 

Good Nights Are Good Days - Pajama Program’s mission is to promote and support a comforting bedtime routine and healthy sleep for all children to help them thrive. To help ensure all children have a good night, they focus their activities on children who face losing loved ones, foster care placement, inadequate or unsafe housing, homelessness, violence in the home, or whose families struggle to make ends meet. Pajama Program aims to make sure all children have equal access to a comforting bedtime routine.

  • All pajamas and books MUST be NEW for this drive.
  • All sizes (infant through adult) and genders of pajamas are accepted.
  • Books from infant through teen.

Collection boxes will be outside the UMS Office doors November 30th thru December 11th, Monday thru Friday, from from 9am-2pm. If  you have question or can’t make it during those times, please contact us for an alternative drop-off location.

Thank you!
