If your business wants on this page, message us. The only thing we ask is that it lands on a child who lives here.

The schools, the nurses and the secretaries
School nurses, secretaries and administrators know which kids are struggling long before anyone else does. They send a list of what is needed, never a list of who needs it. The clothing program runs on that.
