Another DePaolo family member continues Project PJ

"Hello everyone!  

My name is Ryan DePaolo and my family and I are continuing Project PJ this year! We have been running this organization since 2014 and are so excited to be doing it again!  

Project PJ is a community service project that aims to raise awareness for children placed in foster care through the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.  

We are asking people to donate NEW pajamas for children of all ages, infant to age 18. If you have any questions you can email us at project.pj.ma@gmail.com and make sure to follow us on Instagram @projectpj.ma for updates and information about the project!  

You can drop in person donations off to my house at 48 High Ridge Circle, we have a donation bin on our side steps, and I have attached a QR code with links to online registries at Amazon and Target if that is easier.  

Thank you all for your consideration and constant support of this project!  

Happy holidays!"

Hello!                                                         December 2022

My name is Ethan DePaolo and I am a Senior at Franklin High School. Project PJ was started in 2007 and eight years ago. my sister was contacted by one of the families who had previously run it asking if she would take it over, as my family has participated in this project for over 10 years. Since Ryan is at school in NYC, I have taken over. Project PJ is a community service project founded to bring awareness to kids in need placed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts foster care programs. 

I am asking people to donate NEW pajamas for foster children of all ages, newborn to 18 years. The pajamas I collect will be donated to the Whitinsville office of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families which helps the communities in our local area. Including Franklin.

Foster children are very unfortunate to be placed in the situation they are in. They leave their homes with barely anything and families are only given $20 a day to spend for their daily needs. Pajamas help ease the transition for these children and I would like to ask you to support Project PJ this holiday season. Last year, the project donated around 300 pairs of pajamas and this year the goal is 325. 

All sizes are in great need. Pajamas can be dropped off at 48 High Ridge Circle at your convenience. We have a large plastic container on our side steps for collection. If you'd rather purchase pj's online, you can have them shipped directly to our home. 

Donations in the form of cash, check or Venmo, @Ethan-DePaolo are also accepted. We would like all donations by January 1st, but later donations are always appreciated. If you have any questions do not hesitate to email me at ethan_depaolo@gmail.com or message me on Instagram at @ethan.depaolo 

I appreciate your consideration in supporting this cause!

With Gratitude,

Ethan DePaolo

Hello!

My name is Ethan DePaolo and I am a junior at Franklin High School. Project PJ was started in 2007 and seven years ago, my sister was contacted by one of the families who had previously run it asking if she would take it over, as my family has participated in this project for over 10 years. Since Ryan is at school in NYC, I am going to keep Project PJ going this year. 

Project PJ is a community service project founded to bring awareness to kids in need placed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts foster care programs.
