Kicking Off the Fall Season!

We are excited to welcome families back to the store for the fall/winter season.  Eligible school kids can pick out a full week’s worth of clothes to help stay warm at the bus stop or on the playground.  We have two ways to get clothes – make an appointment to shop in the store yourself HERE.

or submit an on-line form for us to pack the clothes for you to pick up later HERE.
