PENSACOLA — The Tucking Kids in Safe, Sound and Dry Pajama and Diaper Drive is Oct. 5-16 in Okaloosa, Escambia, Santa Rosa and Walton counties.
All sizes of diapers and new, never-worn pajamas, infant through adult for larger children, will be collected for children removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect.
Cozy pajamas can help ease distress and promote a sense of security for children when they must be separated from their families, according to social workers.
FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview Center, which provides foster care and related services for children who cannot safely remain with their families, is leading the initiative.
Contact Terri Marshall, FFN foster home development and foster parent recruiter, at 453-7777 or 429-6667, for details.
