I can’t thank everyone enough for all their help. It is such a thrill to us how our community cares so much about our young people. They came together again to help us make yet another one of our events successful.
We also had a successful Prom event in April in which we enabled young ladies and young men to attend an experience of a lifetime, their Prom. We provided at no cost, their gown, shoes, and all the accessories. We also gave out three tuxes and provided several young men with free complete tux rental packages, with the help of sponsors from St Peter’s Episcopal Church and Men’s Wearhouse in South Windsor.
We are now setting up for our first Halloween costume giveaway event. We will open on 10/13 - 10 am to 1 pm, 10/20 - 11 am to 2 pm and 10/27 - 10 am to 1 pm for the children to be able to come in and choose their own costume. Children must be present to get a costume and must be registered in our system. Again there will be no charge. We will gladly accept new and gently used costumes.
In November, we set up The Christmas Corner for the 3rd year. It will be a beautiful room of enchantment and Holiday cheer. We are now accepting donations of anything Christmas or Hanukah.
Any help we can get will be very much appreciated. Again everything we give out, is at no cost to our Clothing Bank Etc. clients. We keep growing, it is amazing the need that is out there. We are here to help where we can.
The Clothing Bank Etc. has a wonderful group of volunteers. Without them, the extra events we hold for our clients would not be possible.
Thank you,
