This past year has been an undeniably difficult one. The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted virtually every aspect of our lives. The effects of the pandemic have seriously deepened the need in countless communities for help. ADD Systems is thankful to have had the opportunity to work with the Pajama Program to give back to our community.
Denise Violand, Pajama Program NJ Chapter President had this to add about the difficult year. “Some of our largest contributions come from schools and, with COVID forcing closures, we lost those. Even our distribution centers and some of the community partners were shut down, which complicated things even further. ADD System’s collection of pajamas and monetary donation helped us get back on track and start 2021 right.”
The Pajama Program NJ Chapter shared a post about ADD Systems’ donation on their Facebook post:
“Again, the amazing company Advanced Digital Data, Inc. in Flanders, NJ held their annual Pajama event.
They had pared down their events since most of the company locations had been working from home due to COVID. They held one event and that was the company raffle. Raffling off comp days, a television, and 3 different Amazon gift cards, having great participation. The other locations (Rhode Island, and Florida) were shut down so there were no local drives except for their Montreal, Canada location. So, they were able to pool the money here in NJ and donate all of it to the Pajama Program.
We are excited to say the total pajamas were 430 and a very generous monetary donation!!
This donation has enabled us to provide thousands of children with their own pajamas and books and helped us continue in our mission to transform the bedtimes of children in need.
On behalf of the children served by the NJ Pajama Program, we thank you for caring.”
