The pajama collection drive is designed to benefit both the children in our New Orleans community who are sleeping in shelters and the children in Israel. Priority will go to sending the pajamas to Israel, specifically to the most economically vulnerable children in the communities in the south and the north which have been physically impacted by the war. The distribution in Israel is intended to coincide with Chanukah.
