 Sleep Train Foster Kids - School Supplies Drive

 
Your help is needed for local foster children! Changing schools can be a tough time for any child, but for nearly 80,000 foster kids in California changing schools can mean losing months of educational progress and falling behind their peers in learning readiness.  To help them prepare for a new school year, Sleep Train is collecting school supplies for California foster kids now through September 15th.  

Bring your gifts of new pencils, pens, erasers and paper to Sleep Train for foster kids of all ages.  Backpacks, highlighters, binders and pocket dictionaries can make a difference for older kids.  For more information, visit www.sleeptrain.com  or call 1-800-378-BEDS. Your gift will give local foster kids tools to help make the most of school.  Sleep Train knows, not everyone can be a foster parent but anyone can help a foster child.
