2024 Joyful Jammie Drive is ON!!!

Wow! I’m LOVING that friends are already calling me to see if we’re doing this again this year…OH YES! Some of you have already donated!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Donna Wiiliams, Jordan Erdahl, Carla Forney, Sue Chinchiolo, Walt Drechsler, and Linda Dreschler!

Also, special THANKS to Stephanie Torrence, Linda and Walt Dreschler, and Barb Thompson Halversen who are also collecting pajamas from their friends and family. This is part of our drive, too! How wonderful is that???

As most of you know, I have volunteered at Domestic Violence Services (DVS) for more than 20 years. In 2013, I was reminiscing about receiving new “jammies” for Christmas and how happy that made me feel. So, I asked my friends and family to help me give this joy to the women and children in the shelter. Well, since then, together we have given;

2013-47;
2014-111;
2015-154;
2016-164;
2017-284;
2018-404
2019- 624;
2020-701
2021-1052
2022-1096
2023-1147- BEYOND fabulous! Thank you so much!!

Total since 2013…5784

Last year, together we gave NEW JAMMIES to Domestic Violence Services; Pathways for Women, and Hand in Hand (now closed 🥲) and Clothes for Kids Total: 1147- Wow! And THANKS from my heart!!

This year, our intention is to give to Domestic Violence Services, Pathways for Women, Dawson Place, Clothes for Kids, and Assistance League, Operation School Bell.

So….…We need WOMEN and LOTS of KIDS jammies-all sizes!

Please consider being a part of this effort this year! I’ll be collecting until December 13th. ❤️💕

You can drop them by my house, I can pick up, meet you for coffee, or mail me $$ and I will shop. I use coupons, bargain hunt, etc for the best deals. Whatever works for you, I will do! This is a really awesome way to share Joy! Let me know if you’re in! (Many of you already have, and I am SO GRATEFUL 💕❤️).
