HOUSTON – A Houston-area nonprofit organization is accepting donations of new bedding for children without a permanent home.
The Sanctuary Foster Care Services has collected pillows, sheets and blankets in hopes of helping foster kids, including those sleeping in CPS offices.
“We just jumped in to help and to make sure that we could support them in any way that we can because we know that everybody is trying to do the best that they can in this situation,” said Executive Director Amanda Boyd.
According to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the number of children in Harris County who spent at least two nights without a traditional foster care placement increased from 49 in May to 60 in June.

The Vail Jazz Festival is back for its 27th season with nine weeks of performances running from now through Labor Day Weekend.
Overcoming obstacles
After a year of uncertainty, festival founder Howard Stone and his team have been able to overcome the roadblocks of the pandemic to present 29 performances featuring some of the biggest names in jazz.
“Last night I didn’t sleep very well because I was so pumped up from the energy and the music,” said Stone, following the opening night of the festival.
Planning for this concert series usually takes place over the course of nine months, but this year Vail Jazz only received approval to proceed with the festival about eight weeks ago. It was a daunting task, but Stone was ready to do whatever it took to keep the music alive.
