Maine Extension Homemakers
Janet’s Jammies was the 2022-2023 project of the year.
The Maine Extension Homemakers worked hard throughout 2022 to make pajamas for Janet’s Jammies, a non-profit dedicated to providing pajamas for kids in need throughout the state of Maine, in memory of Janet Brzozowski, a dedicated daughter, wife and mother who lost her life due to a failed heart transplant in 2018. The Homemakers made 260 pairs of flannel pajama bottoms, and Janet’s Jammies provided matching t-shirts. Each pair of pajamas was wrapped in tissue paper, tied with a ribbon, and enclosed in a waterproof bag along with a photo of Janet and a short story about the pajamas. Pajamas have been distributed to Southern Maine United Way, Bangor United Way, Tri-Valley United Way, Bridging The Gap United Way and United Way Mid-Coast.
