Label Clothing for the Upcoming School Year

Please label ALL of your child's jackets, lunchboxes, and water bottles with their first and last name. We take thousands of dollars worth of lost items to charity organizations each year. If your child's item has a name on it, it is much more likely that it will find it's way back to him/her.

We donate all unlabeled articles at the end of each month.
