Have your littles outgrown some clothes? Well, it’s the perfect time of year to clear out the old and make room for all those Holiday Clothes you’ve been eyeing.
Why do we say it’s the perfect time? Because it is the time of giving and what better way to give the gift of peace of mind this year than to help someone’s holiday money stretch a bit further. So, if you have some old (but still in good condition) clothes to get rid of, reach out to your local schools and churches to see if anyone could use a holiday blessing this year. By taking the worry of clothes off their mind someone may get something a little more special under the tree this year.
If you luck out with the local schools and churches, check to see if a there is a Community Outreach Center, Foster Closet, or social worker nearby that knows someone in need. Children in foster care often end up in the system with little more than a haphazardly stuffed trash bag of stuff, if anything at all. Add in some old toys and you could make a child’s day.
