SHARE A JOY….SHARE A SORROW
Each Sunday, as a way of sharing our lives together in covenant, we drop a stone to celebrate those moments when joy has entered our lives. We follow those stones with ones to acknowledge moments of sorrow in our lives to help ease the burden. By clicking on the link below, the joy or sorrow you name will be read during the service and a stone dropped in the vase.

Covid-19 Community Outreach
July and August Recipient
Clothes To Kids, Inc.
|
|
|
Clothes To Kids, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides new and quality used clothing to low-income or in crisis school-age children, free of charge.
Jode Frisbie Eye and Marie Bouchard McClung, childhood friends and graduates of Clearwater High School had a passion. Their idea was to provide a cheerful store environment where families and children could shop with dignity and respect and receive school clothing free of charge. The first Clothes to Kids store opened in Dunedin on June 11, 2003. Outgrowing that facility, they moved to their present location in Clearwater in 2005 where a department store look and feel became a reality. In December 2009 a second store opened in St. Petersburg and in 2018 a third store opened in Tampa. Several Clothes To Kids stores have opened in other states with the guidance of the original Clothes To Kids, Inc. Jode and Marie had a vision to provide school children with new and quality used clothing in a fun shopping environment and they wanted all of the clothing to be free of charge. This was way more than just a good idea. To date, Clothes To Kids, Inc. has distributed more than 157,000 wardrobes to kids in our community. Please give generously!
If you would like to help us with this effort, you may donate online:
Text Giving is also possible: (727) 500-2410
Choose "Clothes To Kids" from the "Give to Fund" drop-down menu.
Thank you, each and everyone, for your continued support to our Covid-19 Community Outreach program.
