The FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview needs new, unworn pajamas in infant through adult sizes for foster children.
You can drop off donations at any FamiliesFirst Network service center or these local collection sites:
•Crestview News Bulletin, 638 N. Ferdon Blvd., Crestview, 682-6524
•Crestview Service Center, 100 Premier Drive, Unit H, Crestview, 689-7782
FFN's Tucking Kids In Safe and Sound campaign runs until Oct. 4 in Okaloosa, Escambia, Santa Rosa and Walton counties.
The pajamas will benefit children removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect.
"Social workers have found that a cozy pair of new pajamas can help ease distress and promote a sense of security for children when they must be separated from their families," an event spokesperson said.
Almost 800 children received pajamas after last year's campaign. All of them were living in foster homes, with relatives or non-relative caregivers or were receiving in-home services.
Call 453-7777 for more details on the campaign.
