Loaves and Fishes...

Our Clothes closet is like the story in the Bible about the loaves and fishes... It seems like it never runs out of what we need. Now occasionally, we will have a size or two that get low- especially in little boy sizes, but we can almost always provide something for the child!

An example of this is our Back to School Clothing Blitz in August. We were able to help over 50 children get ready to go back to school by providing much needed clothing! The kids came and looked through the racks, finding clothes they liked and would be proud to wear to school. The amazing part was that we seemed to have just enough for each child in each size to provide what they needed! We tried to get around 5 completely outfits for each child, not including shoes, pajamas, or accessories like belts, purses, and jewelry. The BEST part was seeing the excitement on the kids faces when they tried on an outfit that looked great and that they were proud to wear! Our clothes closet has been a great resource for the foster families, and we continue to receive quality donations everyday! Please think of us when you clean out your children's closet. We accept all sizes of children's clothing in good condition!
