READ MORE ABOUT COMFORT CASES  

"Over 700 children enter the foster care system each day.  MOST ARE GIVEN A TRASH BAG TO CARRY THEIR BELONGINGS.

These children have been neglected and often feel like they don’t matter. Many do not own a toothbrush or have a pair of pajamas.

A Comfort Case gives a child entering foster care a sense of dignity and hope. Each is packed with a cozy new pair of pajamas, a stuffed animal to hug, a toothbrush, soap, and other personal care items.  The gift of these simple items tells a child, you matter."
