“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” -President Barack Obama #repost • #closetfactorybayarea On Thursday, we packed over 250 backpacks for kids in foster care at Couchbase HQ as part of our #closetfactorycares campaign! After unboxing the necessities - and hearing an inspiring speech by Robert Scheer of #comfortcases - dozens of employees spent the morning filling bags with pajamas, toiletries, books, toys, blankets, and inspiring cards signed by each volunteer. These Comfort Cases are now with KAFPA (Kinship, Adopted Foster Parent Association) of Santa Clara County, ready to make a difference for local youth in need as they move into their new homes. We plan to host more of these packing parties in 2025 as we continue to donate one backpack for every new Closet Factory client who does business with us. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Happy Holidays! 📷 Shot and edited by @caronmodmedia #closetfactory #fostercare #kidsinfostercare #givingback #nonprofitwork #nochildleftbehind #fosterparents #fosterhome #seasonofgiving #goodsamaritan #volunteerwork

About us
Comfort Cases was founded in 2013 with the mission of inspiring communities to bring hope and dignity to foster youth. Comfort Cases believes that every child has the right to a more humane experience in foster care, and that starts by providing each child in care with a Comfort Case to hold their belongings instead of a trash bag. With the initial goal of helping hundreds, Comfort Cases has dramatically expanded its reach since its inception having delivered more than 95,000 cases to children and youth ranging from newborns to the age of 21 in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. With Comfort Cases distributed to social service agencies, private agencies, emergency domestic violence shelters, family shelters, schools, and police departments, the reach has been broad to children and youth. With exciting developments on the horizon, Comfort Cases continues to grow. While engaged in the process of planning for national expansion, Comfort Cases has established supporters in all 50 states who want play a meaningful role in fulfilling Comfort Cases’ presence and impact. Children deserve the very best from their communities, and Comfort Cases believes it is our responsibility and our privilege to come together to effect positive change in the lives of children and youth in need in foster care.

Couchbase, Comfort Cases, and Closet Factory Bay Area teamed up to host a packing party to support some of the Bay Area’s most vulnerable youth – children entering the foster care system. 🎒 Volunteers filled hundreds of new backpacks donated by Closet Factory Bay Area through its Closet Factory Cares initiative. Almost 100 excited volunteers packed these bags with new pajamas, socks, blankets, stuffed animals, books, activity materials, and hygiene kits. 👏 The packed Comfort Cases have been given to representatives of KAFPA (Kinship, Adopted Foster Parent Association) of Santa Clara County, who will be on hand to receive the bags so they can be distributed to youth in need within the area! 🫶

Last week, PROS Houston office celebrated International Volunteer Day with our Global Day of Caring event. Partnering with Comfort Cases, Inc., we packed bags filled with essentials like pajamas, hygiene kits, books, stuffed toys, and more for children entering foster care, ensuring they don’t have to carry their belongings in trash bags. It was heartwarming to know we were helping these children feel loved. A special highlight was meeting Merri Hahn from BEAR...BE A Resource for CPS Kids, who will be distributing our bags to many deserving children. I’m honored to lead the PROS Cares Global Volunteer Program alongside Kassie Dyakon, PHR. This is one of my favorite aspects of my role, and events like this make me incredibly proud of what we can achieve together. #nomoretrashbags #PROSCares #CommunityOutreach #PROSGlobalDayofCaring #InternationalVolunteerDay
