Matthew 19:14

Your Monthly Support Means Our Partners Can Plan
Our monthly partners, known as the Comfort Crew, reflect the steadfast and unchanging nature of God’s love.
Your recurring gift allows us to steward our resources faithfully and serve “the least of these” with consistent, Christ-like excellence every month.
By joining the Comfort Crew, your consistent support allows us to:​​
Grow our Ministry
Expand our reach to comfort more children by establishing partnerships with new medical facilities and foster agencies.
We aim to ensure every child has a pillowcase waiting for them the moment they arrive, providing immediate comfort during a difficult transition.
Maintain an Inventory
Commit to consistent, predictable deliveries by purchasing materials in bulk to maximize every dollar.
By keeping a robust inventory of bright, diverse patterns, we ensure every child receives a gift that feels personal and specially chosen for them.
Create Stability
Focus on securing the organization’s future to ensure we can support children for years to come.
By building a sustainable foundation, we guarantee that our mission of providing comfort remains a constant for the community.
God’s Love Made Tangible for Kids in Hospitals and Foster Care.
For a child, a hospital room can feel cold and clinical. A foster home can feel strange and lonely. A children’s comfort item can go a long way for children in those situations.
Our colorful, soft flannel pillowcases offer these children a sense of comfort through ownership and familiarity. For some, these pillowcases are a tangible glimpse of God’s love.
We invite you to partner with our nonprofit program by providing handmade pillowcases to children on a difficult journey.
Together, we can help every child feel safe and cherished.
A Legacy of Stewardship
Since 2018, Sleepy Threads’ pillowcase donation program has been a trusted bridge between generous donors like you and children facing their hardest days.
Partnership
Trusted Connections
We partner with premier facilities like Loma Linda Children’s Hospital, Olive Crest, and Totally Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. These relationships allow us to reach children in various stages of care, from those in foster placement to those undergoing long-term rehabilitation.
Impact
A Proven Track Record
Our consistent approach has resulted in the donation of over 6,000 comfort pillowcases. These gifts serve everyone, from children facing health challenges who carry their “hugs” everywhere to foster kids who finally have a colorful item that belongs solely to them.
Quality
Clinical & Emotional Standards
We pre-wash, iron, and sew every case using high-quality flannel to meet rigorous clinical standards. Hospital staff specifically request our cases because they are unique in their durability and soft texture, providing a level of comfort not found in standard donations.
Foundation
Volunteer-Led Excellence
As a dedicated 501(c)(3) organization, our team of 30 volunteers works tirelessly to produce custom-sewn pillowcases every month. This volunteer-driven model ensures that we remain a reliable, hardworking resource for the facilities and children we serve.
Are You Ready for the Sleepy Threads Mission?
Sleepy Threads is a practical, loving ministry, and we are a community of people who believe no child should feel alone in a hospital or foster home.

Now that you understand our heart, our track record, and our mission, we are excited to welcome you to the Sleepy Threads team.
"I'm grateful to Peggy and her team for spending so much time making sure that every detail of these pillowcases is perfect."
