One in fifty children will face homelessness in his or her lifetime.  Organizations around the country work with volunteers on a daily basis to help those in need. Getting involved is as easy as signing up to volunteer, donate, or help spread the word. 

This week, our charity spotlight is on an amazing organization based out of San Francisco, CA: 

“Project Night Night donates over 25,000 Night Night Packages each year, free of charge, to homeless children who need our childhood essentials to feel secure, cozy, ready to learn, and significant.

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.  

By providing objects of reliable comfort, Project Night Night reduces trauma and advances the emotional and cognitive well-being of the children we serve. Every child who receives one of our Night Night Packages leaves the shelter owning a book which encourages reading and family bonding, a security blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuffed animal which can become a cherished friend.  

We have one objective – to deliver our Night Night Packages to every homeless child in the country who needs one. Project Night Night is a tax exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code.  We work with over 10,000 volunteers each year, and we are the leading provider of nighttime comforts for homeless children.” PNN HQ
