Project Title: Clothing Families, Empowering Lives
Project Description:

Clay County Clothes Closet (CCCC) is dedicated to meeting the critical need of adequate clothing for impoverished children and young people in Clay County, Missouri, where an estimated 11.2% of children ages 18 and under live below the poverty level (US Census). Collaborating with local school districts, shelters, and social service agencies to acquire its client base, the Clothing Families, Empowering Lives program meets the needs of 2,700 individuals annually. Operated and managed solely by volunteers, the program offers participants the opportunity to select a new wardrobe of clothing matching their personal style and meeting their needs for school, work, and community activities. All participants receive new undergarments and socks, and all children receive new jeans, shirts, shoes, and a coat. Gently used community-donated clothing completes the new wardrobe, empowering participants with renewed self-confidence, positioning them for success in their endeavors.
