Make a Child in Need your Valentine - Pajama Drive

Help a child in need - Pajama Drive, sponsored by the North East Region Committee of the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors

The North East Region Committee of the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors® is sponsoring a Pajama Drive to help children in need.

Please drop off your new pajamas and books for the entire month of February, at participating locations.

Pajama Program, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, provides New Pajamas and New Books to children in need. What makes for a good night? For most children, bedtime is a time of comfort, love and security. It’s a time when children crave intimacy with their moms and dads, a few minutes of bonding and sharing in a safe, secure environment. But for millions of children living in poverty in America, a good night is a luxury they do not often experience.

Help us keep the children throughout Hartford Country warm and feeling loved with new pajamas and new books for bedtime. We are in "Danger Season," the coldest and loneliest time for these neglected children and teens and we need your help!

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage located at 1 Mountain Road is a participating location and will have a drop-off box located in their office. They are open M-F 9-6pm, Sat 9-3pm, Sun 9-1pm.
