Individual contributions through the
Clothe-A-Child Campaign make a real difference in the lives of the
children we serve. From Catalina to the San Carlos Indian Reservation in
17 schools and 3 counties, Kids’ Closet clothes more than 2000 children
a year.
Let me share two of the recent stories that sadly are the reality in the
lives of the Kids’ Closet children.
Imagine a father standing at the Kids’ Closet front door, hand in hand
with his young son. Now look down and see the child has no socks and no
shoes. Or, consider receiving an emergency call from the crisis center
because a drug-dependent mother has put her 2 girls on the street
without clothes.
Because of caring individuals, Kids' Closet was able to help these
children and countless others like them. Our reaction to seeing the most
helpless of our community is universal. Our heart aches for these kids,
which makes us even more determined to make sure they know that someone
from SaddleBrooke cares about them.
With your help, Kids’ Closet will donate a spring and fall wardrobe to
each qualified child. Donations in any amount are appreciated, but $65
will purchase a spring wardrobe, $130 will purchase a spring and fall
wardrobe and $260 will purchase a spring and fall wardrobe for 2
children.
Our pledge is to put every dollar to work buying clothes and hope for
our community’s poorest children. SBCO is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
