Kids on the coast

As winter wraps up and the weather thaws out, thousands of underprivileged Sunshine Coast kids are thanking a local organisation for providing them with PJs to keep them warm over winter. Local Brooke Neylan established the Sunshine Coast Pyjama Program last year to keep disadvantaged children warm over winter. “After seeing the concept on Oprah, I thought it was a great idea and decided to create something similar here on the Coast,” Brooke said. Strong community support meant nearly 1,000 items including pyjamas, socks, beanies, jumpsuits, jumpers, slippers and singlets were delivered to needy kids via local Salvation Army offices. Well done everyone!
