The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

October 6, 2014

{giving} The 2nd Annual BWF Pajama Drive & I Need Your Help!



Last October, I held the first ever Big White Farmhouse Pajama Drive for children in need.  October is considered to be the beginning of “Danger Season”, when temperatures begin to drop around the country and many children don’t have pajamas to keep them warm on chilly nights.  My kids get so excited about new, cozy pajamas and it breaks my heart to think that some little ones just don’t have that luxury.


So in my small way, I set out to help.  


Friends, family and even a few blog readers all came together to send pajama donations from across the country.  In just two weeks’ time, we were able to collect 14 pairs of pajamas!  The donations were given to a wonderful local organization called Northern Virginia Family Services and it makes my heart swell to think that we helped 14 little ones keep warm during last year’s crazy winter.


So here we are again.  October is here and the weather is getting a bit colder everyday.  


It’s time for the second annual Big White Farmhouse Pajama Drive and I’d love your help!  


My big 30th birthday is coming up this weekend and I would love to collect 30 pajama donations for NVFS, doubling the amount from last year!  Will you help me?  


Here are the details:
+ The pajama drive will be open for the next month, until Friday, November 7, 2014.
+ All pajamas need to be new and should be the complete set (top and bottoms) or a nightgown.
+ The age range we’re collecting for is newborn up to 5T.
+ Please send your donations to me. Shoot me an e-mail (mrsb04jc at gmail dot com) with “Pajama Drive” in the subject line and I can send you the address.  
+ Don’t have time to shop?  Purchase a few PJs online and have them shipped directly to me!
+ Involve your entire family.  This is an easy opportunity to include your children in service!  


I hope you’ll help me spread some happiness to children in need in my community!  If you feel inclined, I’d love it if you would spread the word.  Together, we can work to do great things!  I look forward to hearing from you!



“Little things are indeed little, 
but to be faithful in little things is a great thing.”
– Mother Teresa
