Help provide warmth and sweet dreams to Idaho kids by donating new pajamas and books.

The Idaho Chapter of Pajama Program is holding its winter pajama and book drive now through Friday, Dec. 16.

The group distributes new pajamas and books to children through partnerships with community organizations who serve Idaho kids.

One of the receiving organizations is Haven Shelter, which provides support services to families in transition or crisis, including emergency shelter and necessities, short-term transitional housing and educational resources.

Drop-off sites include Bank of the West (827 W. Idaho St., Boise; and 1630 S. Wells Ave., Meridian) and Stewart Title (913 W. River St., Suite 100, Boise; and 1944 Eagle Road, Meridian).

For more information and the full list of drop-off locations, go to pajamaprogram.org/chapters/ID-Idaho.

It would be impossible to keep the Haven going without the support we get from the community.
