My Project

Our low-income school has some students who only have the clothes on their backs. We are trying to stock up on clothing little by little with donations from many sources, but the best one is DonorsChoose. We have students that are showing compassion by being involved in setting the closet up with new items and hopefully encouraging other students to think about receiving items without embarrassing them.

The students who need clothes can go shopping in our clothing supply room for items they need, but we are out of shorts to help with the warmer weather and we would like to allow the students a chance to have clothes that are appropriate for the weather.

Nothing feels better than food and new clothes to make you feel like you fit into the school and our environment.
