Celebrating a Great CO Gives Day!
Thank you for your support!

A heartfelt thank you to YOU - our generous donors - for helping us raise an incredible 
$35,562 on 
Colorado Gives Day!

The value of these gifts will be increased by the Colorado Gives Day $1.6 Million Incentive Fund and will be put to work immediately to help thousands of deserving students in our community feel comfortable, confident and prepared to thrive. 

Your contributions allow Clothes To Kids to provide a wide selection of clothing and shoes, as well as a fun shopping experience for the students we serve. Your belief in our mission is what makes our work possible.

We are so grateful for your generosity!

Sharing the Love

We were fortunate to have volunteers from Project Our Town on-site to help unload a huge donation from Undies for Everyone. Several pairs went out right away with the family liaison from a local elementary school (pictured here) who came to shop for the kids of four families impacted by an apartment fire. It takes a village!

These friends decided that the icky weather wouldn’t stop them from volunteering. They drove two hours in snowy conditions to get to our shop and then worked a full day. Thank you for going the extra mile for our students!

The students, staff and parents at Kent Denver School held another successful clothing drive. The Sun Devils collected an impressive 181 coats, 115 pairs of shoes and 30+ packages of new socks & underwear. Kudos to Heather Hobson and Della Patteson for organizing the drive for the fourth year in a row!

Chris recently stopped by and told us he was planning a shopping trip and wanted to know about our greatest needs. The next day, he surprised us with a huge assortment of brand new sweatpants and sweatshirts for elementary-age kids, a huge need for us this time if year. Thank you, Chris!

This energetic volunteer group from Project Our Town accomplished a lot during their shift last month. Big smiles and a little silliness made for a fun and productive day!

Meet our newest Student Ambassador, Emmy. Emmy organized a clothing drive in her neighborhood. She sent out flyers, picked up donations and sorted/labeled them. Then, with the help of her family, she brought three carloads of donations. Wow!

This great group from Travelport did just about everything there is to do during a volunteer shift! They spent the whole day at our shop and did the work of a small army, keeping us in excellent shape during this super busy time!

Cathy Baumgartner celebrated her first year of volunteer service with us by bringing in some extra special items for our “extras” section. New toys are always such a fun surprise for our shoppers. Happy anniversary, Cathy!

Wishing you a happy holiday season and a joyous and healthy New Year!
