To help local foster kids, Sleep Train is collecting school supplies for California foster kids. While you’re out picking out school supplies for your children, why not pick up an extra pack of pencils or some notebook paper for a foster child? Bring your gifts of new pencils, pens, erasers and paper to Sleep Train for foster kids of all ages. Backpacks, highlighters and pocket dictionaries can make a difference for older kids.
