Did you know that many children in the Auburn School District are embarrassed by ill-fitting, torn or soiled clothes and cannot afford new clothing? As a result, students miss class time and develop low self-esteem.
But now you can help,
Please join Communities In Schools of Auburn during the month of April for the second annual district-wide “Clothes 4 Kidz” drive.
A kickoff party for the clothing drive will be from 6:30-10 p.m. March 19 at Auburn Wine and Caviar, 2402 A St. SE.
Your donation of gently-used clothing will help stock the school nurse’s clothing banks, helping hundreds of kids and families. These items will ensure students can return to the classroom more quickly and with confidence.
From April 4-29, during normal business hours, all schools and the larger community are encouraged to donate clean, gently-used clothing (size child 4 to adult M) and shoes. Also needed are new underwear and socks (in original package) for children ages 5-13.
You can drop off donations at the following locations:
• Valley Regional Fire Authority Fire Station No. 31 (by Fred Meyer), 1101 D St. NE
• Valley Christian School, 1312 2nd St. SE, Auburn
• Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Office, 910 9th St. SE
