PJ Drive 2026
We’re excited to announce our 4th Annual PJ Drive!
This Christmas, Pain to Purpose is collecting brand-new pajamas for foster children in the Crossroads area. Our goal is simple: to make sure every child has a cozy new pair of PJs to unwrap and wear during the holidays.
How you can help:
• Host a Donation Box – Place a box at your business. Get with us and we’ll deliver it to you!
• Give a Monetary Donation – Every dollar helps us purchase pajamas in the sizes we need most.
Together, we can bring warmth, comfort, and holiday cheer to foster kids in our community.
If you’d like to host a box or donate, message us today!
