Pinebrook Elementary has chosen to support Comfort Cases this winter!
Comfort Cases
Comfort Cases is an organization that provides backpacks filled with comfort and essential items for foster children to call their own. On any given day, there are over 400,000 children in foster care in the United States. These children often move from foster home to foster home with nothing more than the clothes on their back; many who do have personal belongings are given a trash bag to keep them in. Comfort Cases aims to change that.
Why this Charity?
The reason Pinebrook has chosen to support this charity is two-fold. One, it is close to our hearts. Our Pinebrook community has been affected by the effects of foster care so we want to help. Second, this charity allows children to get involved and experience philanthropy for themselves!

How Can You Help
Each grade level has been assigned an item to donate that will be used to pack in the backpacks for the charity. Second grade has been given backpacks and duffel bags. If you would like to donate one, or more, send them into school with your child. Then on Saturday, February 17th, your child and family are welcome to join us at school where we will work together to pack as many backpacks as we have supplies for. This allows your child to help with the end product, feeling more connected to the charity. More details about the packing event will come closer to the date. The more supplies we collect, the more backpacks we can pack!
It is not required for students to participate, but it is a nice was to introduce your child to the world of giving!
