The Clothing for Kids Program at the United Way office supports teachers who are helping students in need.
Through this program, teachers submit clothing and hygiene requests for students who may lack proper resources. Our goal is to ensure students can focus on academics — not on the lack of clothing or hygiene essentials.
Volunteers play a vital role in maintaining our Clothing for Kids Closet and preparing these student requests with care and confidentiality.
