The holiday season is here, and we’re so excited to kick it off with a meaningful tradition at Barrett Walk! This year, we’re proud to participate in Morguard’s North Pole Express, a four-week donation drive aimed at spreading joy to foster children. We’ve teamed up with Comfort Cases, a fantastic nonprofit dedicated to supporting kids in foster care. We invite you to join us in making this holiday season extra special for those who need it most!
What Is the North Pole Express? 🎅
Imagine a sleigh filled with more than just toys—this drive focuses on collecting essentials that can truly brighten a child’s day. The North Pole Express is Morguard’s nationwide holiday initiative where communities like Barrett Walk come together to collect donations for children in foster care. For the next four weeks, our lobby will be transformed into a festive drop-off point for your generous contributions.
Who Are We Supporting? 💙
We are honored to partner with Comfort Cases, a nonprofit founded by Rob Scheer, who himself grew up in the foster care system. Rob created Comfort Cases to address the heartbreaking reality that many children enter foster care carrying their belongings in trash bags. The organization provides “comfort cases”—backpacks filled with essentials like cozy pajamas, books, blankets, and hygiene products.
These comfort cases are much more than just bags—they’re a message to children that they are seen, valued, and cared for. Each backpack is thoughtfully packed to offer dignity and hope, giving kids a sense of belonging during challenging times.
How Can You Get Involved? 🎁
We’d love for our wonderful Barrett Walk community to help us make the season brighter for foster children. From now until December 13th, we’re collecting the following items in our lobby:
- New pajamas (all sizes)
- Diaper wipes (packs of 10-48)
- Children’s books (because every child deserves a bedtime story)
- Small blankets & stuffed animals (for warmth and comfort)
- Baby washcloths (to help little ones stay clean)
Please note that all donations must be new and unused, and they cannot be religious or holiday-themed. This ensures that every gift is inclusive and suitable for all children.

Why Participate? 🤗
The holiday season is all about giving back and spreading kindness. By supporting the North Pole Express, you’re not just donating items—you’re offering comfort, dignity, and a sense of hope to children who need it most. Together, we can make a real difference and show these kids they’re not alone.
Let’s come together as a community to make this the most joyful, impactful holiday yet, Barrett Walk family! 🎄✨
Thank you for your generosity. Let’s fill those comfort cases with love and kindness! 💛😊
