Ahhhh yes….. it’s back to school time! It is an exciting time for many kids but for so many other kids, it’s not met with the same fun expectation of getting new school clothes and getting to pick out their backpack for the year. It’s often met with the stress of not being able to afford new clothes,  not fitting in, and not having what “all the other kids have.”

According to an article written in Patch.com, “More than 40 million Americans live below the poverty line, and of those facing such financial hardship, children are disproportionately affected. Nearly 12.6 million children under age 18 live in households with poverty-level income.”

I remember getting so excited about returning back to school. My brother and I each had a small budget to buy our new school wardrobe. I remember one year it was $100.00 and it felt like so much! My brother used his to get 1 Polo shirt, a pair of pants, and some polo socks. I on the other hand stretched out every single one of those dollars, shopping at our across-the-street neighbors garage sale, getting the blue light specials at K-Mart, and coming away with 20 items! Little did I know that I would grow up to be a thrifty spender!

Trails West Elementary School. Can you spot me? I was so proud of my garage sale outfit!

LET’S HELP KIDDOS LESS FORTUNATE GO TO SCHOOL WITH CONFIDENCE!

We have teamed up with our angelic side, The Urban Angels, and The Lion Project to collect as many clothes, undies, socks, and backpacks as we possibly can! We will get these items distributed to Clothes to Kids and Colorado’s foster children and teens through The Lion Project.

If you are interested in being part of our drive, collect new and gently used clothing and backpacks, as well as brand new socks and undies, and drop them off at our Fashion Denver donation center (at our office at 2265 Lawrence Street). Please contact me, Brandi, to schedule a time for drop off! You can contact me at the contact form or at my telephone which is three oh three ate for too, seven two nine ate. (LOL! That was a fun way to list my telephone # in secret code!)

Thank you all for your generous hearts!
