Help kids in need by bringing pajamas to the Grafton Public Library

If you drop by the Grafton Public Library and find the staff in pajamas, consider it a reminder: it’s pajama time.

The Grafton Public Library is once again joining the Boston Bruins, DCF/Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons to collect pajamas for kids in need through February and March. 

The goal is to collect 5,000 pairs for drop off in Newton by the end of March. Staff will be in pajamas on Fridays and Saturdays to promote the program, and have planned several special events including a stuffed animal sleepover. 

Want to help? Donate a NEW pair of pajamas for children and teens through March 31 at the Grafton Public Library. 

Brand new pajamas, appropriate for all seasons, from sizes 2T through adult medium are sought. Please do not give pajamas that include any family or holiday references, and defer to Cradles to Crayons Quality = Dignity guidelines, and purchasing only items that all children would be both excited and proud to wear and use.

The most needed sizes are: Girls: 5/6 (child S), 7/8 (child M), 14/16 (child XL/adult S), 18/20 (child XXL/adult M) Boys: 7/8 (child M), 14/16 (child XL/adult S), 18/20 (child XXL/adult M)

Monetary donations are also accepted online through https://www.cradlestocrayons.org/boston/donate-now/.

Alternatively, you can purchase pajamas through the Amazon Wish List of Cradles to Crayons Boston, and they will be shipped directly to them: https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/TJMR8JUUS0US/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_ws_ZmsBzb6XN6MGJ?
