“Drop (off) Your Drawers”, PLEASE. It is that time of year for Clothes To Kids annual Drop (off) Your Drawers, underwear drive for children in need, in our community. Each Year CTK distributes over 65,000 pairs of new underwear. The drive is designed to collect new underwear to help “underwrite” the cost of underwear – a basic part of the Clothes To Kids wardrobe. All children deserve clean, new underwear. For the months of July and August, Clothes To Kids will be collecting new packages of underwear. Sizes needed for boys are 4-16 (boxer briefs) and young men sizes 30 & Up. For girls we need sizes 6-16, Junior Girls Sizes 5 and up (primarily bikini style are requested). Please support our mission and help us provide this basic necessity. Clothes matter! Donate new packages of underwear to one of our three CTK stores: Clearwater Store (1059 N. Hercules Ave., Clearwater) St. Pete Store (Twin Brooks Commons, 2168 34th Street South) or the Tampa Store (5011-H West Hillsborough Ave., Tampa). For convenience you can shop at our Amazon Wish List Today. Website and Wish List Link : https://clothestokids.org/dyd. Every Pair Counts!!!
