Helping Hands : Youth Community Service Project

Warm PJs and a Good Night Story
We hope you've noticed the Pajama Program box, located opposite the library's main circulation desk. The box is there owning to the initiative and generous spirit of Heather Congdon, an EHHS senior. What's the box for? In Heather's own words:

Calling Out to My Community!
The Pajama Program provides new pajamas and books to children who are waiting to be adopted. Most of these children have been abandoned or abused and most have not experienced the comforts of being tucked into bed at night. Your help with this creative program can provide the comfort of warm bedtime clothing and stories. Please help with this great program. All the donations will go to children in the CT area.

Where to Donate
Pajama Boxes are located at the library; KOCO (Kids of Chatham Organization), and for students, at the East Hampton High School. Heather not only self-initiated this service effort; she designed all of the promotional posters.

Time to buy some new jammies and a book; don't you think? Donations will be accepted through the end of October.
