Review for Project Night Night, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I will never forget the day I distributed Night Night Packages in Worcester, Massachusetts. I had never seen so many smiling faces and so many families brought to tears. Project Night Night is a wonderful organization. I interned there for three summers, learned many life lessons and met very dedicated people. PNN provides a new blanket, new stuffed animal and a new book to children who live in homeless shelters or in poverty. The Night Night Package provides a sense of safety and security where the unknown and often times loneliness is present. Most of us can remember the blanket we slept with or the stuffed animal we couldn't drop. Many children in the United States lack these essential child items. As they move from shelter to shelter or friend's home to the street, Project Night Night aims to give them a piece of comfort where they can feel secure despite the unknown. As an intern, I was privileged to read "Thank You" notes from the children who received these blankets. One card read, "My Mother says thank you." The mother realized what an impact a Night Night Package can have on her child. It not only provides needed items, but it also gives the child something they can call their "own". Throughout my time, I was very impressed with the staff and board. Their dedication and hard-work is evident in everything they do. They continue to expand their services in order to help more children. It is a beautiful place to work.
