logo.gifBob’s Discount Furniture is teaming up with the Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization providing new and warm pajamas and books to children in need throughout the United States. I guess they figure it’s a good mix since they sell comfy mattresses and cozy reading chairs.

And after a night of snow and really cold weather, warm pj’s and a book sound really great.

The Pajama Program is based in NYC and supports group homes, shelters and foster homes get warm sleepwear and nurturing books to children in need. Board members include Ivana Trump, Patti Labelle and Soledad O’Brien.

Bob’s Discount Furniture has stepped up participate in this program on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is encouraged to drop off new pajamas and books at the nearest Bob’s Discount Furntirue store. And with every donation, each person is eligible to win a Caribbean cruise. Their New York store in our region is in Nanuet at 6 Hutton Ave., 845-627-0823. They also have stores in Connecticut — Bridgeport, Brookfield and Stamford.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.
