Love, love, love this organization! These ladies work tirelessly to give children a little tote full of love! The night night totes provided by Project Night Night are so simple yet so incredibly valuable to the children receiving them. Every child deserves a blanket, a lovey and a great book! Proud to have helped deliver thousands of totes over the last 10years.
This makes over 10 years of volunteering with Project Night Night because the need never stops. It brings such joy to these homeless children to have this gift greet them when they enter a shelter. Volunteering is easy and makes such an incredible impact, but I also support Project Night Night with my wallet. It's an incredibly lean organization that really knows how to stretch a dollar. I'm proud of where my money and time go because I know what an impact both make on the lives of children.

We just finished a big project at our town summer camp collecting blankets, books and stuffed animals, and getting over 100 packages ready for needy kids in a nearby community. The teen counselors loved the assembly and the younger kids were so proud to bring in their donations. Project Night Night is a great organization to volunteer for, donate too, and receive packages from. The shelters are so grateful for these hand-assembled bags and it feels really good to also support literacy through distributing books.
I have been involved with Project Night Night for close to 10 years and I could not love this organization more! PNN helps shelter children to feel safe and secure with simple comfort items. What could be easier and better? Project Night Night has also been there to aid children displaced because of the many natural disasters over the years. Living in California, I have seen the direct impact this can make given the recent fires. It makes me feel so honored to be part of this cause -- my family and I love to volunteer our time and donate to PNN and will do for years to come.

This was my 8th year to help as a volunteer with this amazing organization! I am proud to say that I delivered 1,000 totes this year to the children in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area! What I love most about PNN is that every mom, dad and child can relate to it and understand it's importance. People WANT to give and this organization created a simple formula that makes it easy to donate and make a significant difference in a child's life. Kendra & Jessica are fantastic to work with each year! I admire their commitment to serve and their passion to help. I am humbled by the generosity of others and so very thankful I am helping to make so many children have sweeter dreams.
I was first introduced to Project Night Night at a Salesforce MVP event. They were brought into the event to tell us about their mission and give us the opportunity to help assemble Night Night Packs. I instantly fell in love with the mission of helping homeless children feel a little more secure in an otherwise insecure situation. I support Project Night Night every chance I get - through donations of money, time or needed products. I even shaved off my beard once to support them! I hadn't been clean shaven in about 30 years - but I raised over $2,300 for doing that! Most certainly a worthy cause, run by some awesome people that I've had the pleasure of meeting in person too!
I got involved with Project Night Night, and later became an Advisory Board member because I am passionate about Project Night Night's mission, which serves a specific need in the lives of homeless children living in shelters across the United States. While there are many organizations that focus on providing housing/shelter for homeless youth, PNN focuses on the the emotional and educational needs of homeless children, providing security, stability, and a sense of worth to children by providing them with a brand new tote containing a book, blanket, and stuffed animal. PNN is a well-run organization, that has sought to increase its reach and impact over, while staying focused on its core mission. Project Night Night's ability to provide an immediate and direct positive impact to the children it serves makes it a truly special organization, and one that I am proud to support.

I have long been involved as a volunteer and advocate for Project Night Night, and earlier this year joined the Advisory Board to formalize my role and deepen my impact on this organization that I believe in so passionately.
Project Night Night fills a real need in communities across the country, and the impact that a package has on a child at a such a formative point in his/her life is huge. In fact, the hundreds of letters and photos PNN receives from shelters and grateful parents says it all -- that Project Night Night is making a big difference for the 25,000+ homeless children that benefit every year from this great organization!
Project Night Night is well run and organized and the staff and volunteers are responsive and interested in collaborating with communities, groups, and businesses - and to engage children in philanthropy to benefit other kids -- something that I find particularly special. With this kind of work ethic and commitment to the cause, PNN will undoubtedly continue to grow and shine!
The Memphis area has a lot of poverty and hundreds of children in shelters. With the support and guidance of the Project Night Night Board, we formed a local team three years ago, and to date have delivered 2,478 tote bags to our shelters! On behalf of our team and the kids in Memphis, THANK YOU, Project Night Night!

I read about PNN and instantly recognized the idea as elegant, simple, and critically needed. I couldn't find any volunteers in Memphis so a few of us started asking for donations. We now deliver totes to local shelters and family service agencies year-round, and have gotten amazing feedback from our community. Shelter program directors tell us about the joy and comfort that the items bring to the children, and that the parent is grateful as well. I wish that the need was not there, but as long as it is, PNN is making a huge difference in so many communities like mine.
I have been involved with Project Night Night for two years now. It is hands-down the most rewarding non-profit to get involved in. It is the most wonderful way to teach my children how to make a positive, direct impact on the lives of other children in our community. Filling and delivering these Night Night bags and seeing smiles on the faces of the children receiving them is an amazing experience. Thank you Project Night Night for giving my family and I such an easy, hands-on experience!!
I am proud to have been involved with Project Night Night since inception in 2005. It is an honor and a privilege to work with this team. It is heart warming to see the compassion of the public in wanting to make an positive impact in the lives of homeless children. The thousands of volunteers each year, who rally around this mission, speaks volumes for the necessity of this type of program. I believe it is not only the mission, but the personal touch of Project Night Night's staff that brings volunteers back year after year.

Amazing organization that serves 35,000 homeless kids every year. They care about them so much, and it shows!

Best nonprofit! They are incredibly responsive and obviously care deeply about helping homeless kids. We did a bake sale to raise funds. They were so appreciative you would have thought we raised $10,000 and not $100. You made us all fee GREAT! Thanks PNN!
I was so amazed how "project night night" captured our hearts. My daughter and I wanted to volunteer to make a difference, and babies and children have always been near and dear to our hearts. The project night night website made it so easy to get involved and the people at this organization were wonderful to work with. We raised enough money to assemble 31 bags and delivered them to the local shelter in need for their Easter party for the children. Thank you project night night! This small project made our Easter brighter!
Project Night Night is an amazing nonprofit that truly places the emotional well-being of displaced children at the heart of their organization. I learned of Project Night Night about 3 years ago when a family friend was hosting a drive. I absolutely loved the concept and decided to host my own drive the following year. The content (a book, stuffie, & blanket) is so simple and yet the effects are profound. The staff is genuine and wonderful to work with, especially Jessica Bryan as she as been my constant contact. This year to elevate PNN to a larger platform within my community as I believe their mission is essential to the health & well-being of our displaced youth, I had the pleasure of organizing a drive with Kent State University, College of Nursing and Delta Xi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International. With the help of 11 Colleges within the University & our chapter members we were able to put together 447 night night packages. The result allowed us to directly impact the health of our local youth and live the mission of STTI, which is to advance world health and nursing excellence through, scholarship, leadership, and service.
I look forward to volunteering again with PNN in the near future.
Thanks to the Bloggess, I learned of this charity a few years ago. I love that I can see exactly where my donation is going and the good it's doing for actual people. The PNN folks have found a need to fill and have done an amazingly caring job of filling that need. I know there are a lot of children who are comforted by their efforts who would otherwise be scared and have nothing to call their own.
My favorite part of Project Night Night is that I get to see the direct impact that our hard work has on the children. When I bring the totes to the shelters, the shelter directors RUN out the car, and they are spilling over with stories about how our totes have made a difference with the children. I love that the personal connection PNN has with the volunteers, donors and with the shelters. I can tell you which volunteer made which blanket, which shelter the blanket went to, and what he shelter director said about the donation. It is the personal connection that makes PNN special. There is a very unique link between the village that makes us run: donors, quilters, shleppers, cheerleaders, drivers, volunteers, Fedex drivers, shelter directors, and PNN. Each person involved is a part of a larger story and each person involved knows that story. This makes us special: it is about ALL of us. It is not just about helping the homeless, it is about making ALL of us better, more involved people. Together, we all rise up.
Project Night Night is a wonderful organization that is so easy to get behind - helping the most innocent and vulnerable victims of homelessness. It is easy to volunteer and it is a great way to introduce even young kids to the idea of charitable giving.

I love Project Night Night. It fills an incredibly important need for kids who are in an incomprehensibly difficult situation. It is also a great opportunity to have kids help other kids as it is an easy volunteer opportunity for kids of all ages. I have been so proud to help with this organization and have loved having my kids pitch in as well.
My time is tight. I am selective and informed when I decide on a cause to support. Project Night Night is a wonderful cause that fulfills an important need in our society. It addresses two things that are important to me…homelessness and children. I have involved my own children in supporting this wonderful organization and we have all become better people because of it. PNN is insanely organized, efficient and well run. You can be sure - your efforts, time and money are always put to the best use. No matter where I go or how much money I have…I will ALWAYS have room in my calendar and my checkbook for Project Night Night.
We organized this in my daughter's kindergarden class. The parents all brought it in stuffed animals, blankets and books. The teachers got the kids to pack the bags. Very rewarding experience.
PNN does such an amazing job providing comforts to children who have lost so much. Their packages give kids a light of hope during a very difficult time!
Over the past several years I have both donated to and volunteered for Project Night Night because I absolutely love this organization's mission - to provide comfort to displaced children. Having children of my own, I realize that there is nothing that soothes a child more at bedtime than to have a special blanket and/or stuffed animal with them. Project Night Night provides children in need with both of these items, as well as with a book. Having delivered "Night Night packages" to a shelter myself, I have seen first-hand how excited the children are to receive their new books, stuffed animals and blankets. Project Night Night is a wonderful charity and is really making a difference in the lives of kids in need.
This charity is amazing. I am so grateful for a charity that can DIRECTLY impact kids. My family has supported PNN for 10 years. What I love most about it is that children can help other children. PNN has single handedly taught my children that they CAN directly impact those in need. It is simple. It is cost effective. It changes lives. Nothing warmed my heart more than seeing a young child open up the PNN bag and watching her face light up.
For over eight years now, my children have grown up participating in an annual Project Night Night drive in our Boston-area suburb. The act of giving has shaped my children's values and the beautiful simplicity of Project Night Night's model has made both the concept and act of volunteerism very accessible. The Project Night Night staff have been tirelessly supportive and helpful along the way. This is a nonprofit that positively impacts everyone, both on the giving and receiving end!
