Volunteers with JPMorgan Chase recently partnered with the Precious Dreams Foundation to assemble and deliver sleep care bags to children at the West Help Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter through its Comfort Drop program, which teaches youth to self-comfort through inspirational stories and self-discovery activities. Volunteers personally delivered bedtime comfort items like plush toys, blankets, pillows, and journals to West Help Mount Vernon ”“”“ the contents in the Precious Dreams bags ”“”“ reminders to self-comfort as they transition through foster care and shifting housing circumstances

 Volunteers created more than 75 Precious Dreams bags and read them The Quest, a graphic novel adventure from Chase that teaches kids about the basics of earning, saving and spending money.
