My high school students are especially thankful to have a place to go to get these things they need to help them be successful.\r\n\r\nWe received orders of sweatpants, socks, underwear, and hair items. The brushes and combs have gone like wildfire. So many kids come from homes where things are shared, lost, left and forgotten. They know when they come into my office that they can comfortably ask for a necessity and get it. This winter they needed socks quite a bit too. The joggers come in handy often when there are accidents at school or to fill a bag for a displaced child or family. \r\n\r\nSmiles are easy to come by when we have such generous donors.
