Mission Statement
There are approximately 298,000 homeless families in the United States. Currently, there are more homeless children in the U.S. than at any other time since the Great Depression. Nonetheless, family homelessness often goes unseen as most homeless families do not live on the street. Instead, most homeless families are transient, living in shelters, in cars, in hotels in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, or staying with friends or family members. To ease the anxiety associated with shelter living, Project Night Night distributes Night Night Packages to homeless children ages 0-10. Each Night Night Package contains an age-appropriate book, a baby blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuffed animal which can become a cherished friend. Finding comfort is vitally important for children in order to feel secure, loved, and valued – even in the midst of the upheaval and uncertainty attendant to homelessness
About This Cause
Project Night Night donates over 25,000 Night Night Packages each year, free of charge, to homeless children who need our childhood essentials to feel secure, cozy, ready to learn, and significant. Each Night Night Package contains a new security blanket, an age-appropriate children's book, and a stuffed animal -- all nestled inside of a new canvas tote bag. By providing objects of reliable comfort, Project Night Night reduces trauma and advances the emotional and cognitive well-being of the children we serve. Voted the one of the "Top 25 Children's Charities" in the country, Project Night Night has emerged as a leading provider of night time comforts for homeless children. Accomplishments: * 25,000 homeless children receive Night Night Packages each year. * 10,000 volunteers connect with and improve their communities annually. * 150,000 children's books donated since 2005. * Tens of thousands of bad dreams vanquished. Goals: We provide the means, the opportunity, and the structure for community-minded individuals and corporations to make an ongoing and lasting impact on their communities. Through our direct partnership with hundreds of shelters, we place our Night Night Packages in the hands of over 25,000 homeless children each year. Project Night Night offers a comprehensive approach to assistance by impacting as many areas in need as possible. We help the environment by establishing drop-off locations where individuals can donate their like-new children's items rather than seeing them disposed of into landfills. We also focus on the education of homeless children by donating over 25,000 children's books each year. Finally, we attend to the emotional needs of homeless children through the carefully-tailored comfort items that we donate in each Night Night Package.
