Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Once Again Partners with ZBest Worldwide Transportation for
Third Annual Pack a Trolley Event to Benefit Comfort Cases Non-profit
Holiday Event Provides Youth in Foster Care with Essential Backpacks and Personal Items, #NoMoreTrashBags
Baltimore, MD – November, 2019…Many times, when a youth is entering foster care, has been removed from their home for allegations of abuse, or is facing homelessness, they are forced to move from house to house with all their personal belongings in nothing but a black garbage bag. Comfort Cases, a national foster care charity, set out to change that by providing children with a Comfort XL, a large capacity 33” collapsible duffel bag to replace the practice of using trash bags, and a Comfort Case, their own backpack or duffel bag with personal items such as pajamas, a soft blanket, toiletries, dental hygiene kits, a book and a stuffed animal, among other items. On Friday, December 6, 2019, from 7:30AM -6:00PM Royal Sonesta Harbor Court and ZBest Worldwide will join forces to host the Third Annual Pack a Trolley event to benefit Comfort Cases. A vintage trolley, donated by ZBest Worldwide, will be parked in front of Royal Sonesta Harbor Court on Light Street and volunteers and staff will be on site the entire day to accept donations to include backpacks, blankets, stuffed animals, pajamas, specific content items as well as monetary contributions. In addition, there will be local dignitaries and celebrity athletes there to help with promoting the event and “stuffing the trolley.” For more information, visit www.comfortcases.org or call 301-605-7813.

ABOUT COMFORT CASES
Comfort Cases is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) charity based in Rockville, Md. Rob and Reece Scheer established the charity in October 2013 on a mission to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to youth entering the foster care system. With the initial hope of helping hundreds of youth in the Washington, D.C. metro area, Comfort Cases has risen to national prominence following the release of a feature video produced by viral media website Upworthy. The video, which has been viewed more than 100 million times, has led to appearances on The Ellen Show and the Today Show, while bringing national attention to issues facing children entering the foster care system.
To date, the charity has distributed more than 60,000 Cases to children in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Comfort Cases continues to expand its reach with a goal of providing Cases and Comfort XLs to each of the more than 270,000 youth who enter our foster care every year.
