Poverty is a significant problem for families and children across the region. According to the CHEO, one in six Canadian children live in poverty. Approximately 38,500 Ottawa residents go to a food bank in a month. 15,000 of them are children. 9,700 households are on a 5-8 year waiting list for subsidized housing in Ottawa. The Pyjama Patrol has a simple goal.  To give kids the comfort and security they deserve for a good night's sleep. To learn more about the Pyjama Patrol, please visitwww.pyjamapatrol.com
