The Big Biscuit is bringing back its annual Pajama Jam, a holiday charitable initiative designed to provide new pajamas to children in need. Running from November 16 through December 13, 2026, the campaign will collect donations at Big Biscuit locations across Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma, supporting eight regional nonprofit organizations.
The initiative has its roots in a grassroots holiday campaign launched by Kansas City radio station Q104. Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City nonprofit serving children and families, became an early local partner. Over time, the effort developed into a broader community tradition, with The Big Biscuit helping extend its reach through its growing restaurant network.
This year’s campaign will support eight organizations across the brand’s four-state footprint. Partners include Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City; Citizens Caring for Children in Oklahoma City; Emergency Infant Services in Tulsa; Children’s Safety Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Children’s Haven in Joplin, Missouri; Ozarks Area Community Action Corporation in Springfield, Missouri; Wichita Children’s Home in Wichita, Kansas; and Manhattan Emergency Shelter in Manhattan, Kansas.
Customers can participate by donating new, unused pajamas for children from newborn through age 12 at any Big Biscuit location during the collection period. The initiative gives local communities a straightforward way to support families during the holiday season while helping nonprofit partners meet a practical need. Christine McLeod of The Big Biscuit has emphasized the importance of bringing communities together to make a difference for children.
For franchise brands, initiatives such as Pajama Jam demonstrate how local restaurant networks can support charitable causes across multiple markets. Communicating these efforts clearly can help customers understand how to participate and bring greater visibility to nonprofit partnerships.
