The Pillow Project
The Pillow Project is an original grassroots, donation-based project that provides new, high quality pillows* to non-profit organizations that shelter children, women and men who have been abused, neglected or are homeless. Thanks to generous, tax-deductible donations from friends, neighbors and complete strangers, the project has expanded each year to help an increased number of organizations who provide shelter and support to those in need. In total, The Pillow Project has collected over $13,000 in donations and provided more than 3,600 pillows.
*Thanks to the generosity of a large national department store, we can purchase high quality pillows at 75% off retail price, which helps maximize the number of pillows donated.
Bingo Parties
We have organized and led annual BINGO parties for everyone on campus at the Kennedy Home since 2014, where everyone wins a large prize of their choice. This is always a fun afternoon, filled with laughter and excitement. Everyone leaves with a prize in their hands and a smile on their face! We hope to expand this project to include other organizations.
Supply Drives
We have organized and led a supply drive at our school, collecting donations of paper products to replenished inventory at the BCH Kennedy Home campus. And, we have helped our grandmother with the Johnston County supply drive that she organizes each year for BCH.
Warm Fuzzies
Jessica has contributed to BCH for many years by making Warm Fuzzies to give to the children at Kennedy Home in Kinston, NC and to those who have donated to the BCH food supply drive in Johnston County. She also instructed and provided supplies for the children at Kennedy Home to make Warm Fuzzies to give as Christmas gifts to their supporters.
