Do you remember your or your children’s first day of school? How exciting was it to get the cutest outfit together, pack school supplies in a new backpack, and head off to class?

At our Free Clothing Program, we will be serving 230 homeless and low-income children through our annual Back to School event in partnership with My New Red Shoes, which is contributing new shoes for all of our students. Our Back to School event will be held Friday, August 15th from 10am-3pm.
