CTK inventory is low. We especially need elementary/youth girls tops, pants and shorts sizes S, M, L and XL. We continue to be busy providing Clothes To Go bags to school-aged children (Pre-K4 to 12th grade) in need, in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. Please donate new or gently used clothing, shoes and jackets to Clothes To Kids at our locations in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa. It’s cold outside and we can use your help.
Children who receive a Clothes To Go bag from Clothes To Kids, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch or who are in crisis. What do they receive? Each Clothes To Go bag includes 5 pairs of new underwear, 5 pairs of new socks, 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 1 dress (optional) and a pair of shoes, totally free! If your child attends a uniform school they may receive 3 uniform tops and 2 bottoms. CTK request form: https://clothestokids.org/back-to-school-bags.
Donations: As our mission continues, our need for monetary and clothing donations has not stopped. Please go through your closets and donate any gently used school clothing and shoes for children PreK-4 to 12th grade. Kids come in all shapes and sizes, so our clothes have to as well. Monetary donations can be sent to Clothes To Kids, 1059 N. Hercules Avenue, Clearwater, FL 33765. $50 provides one child a week’s worth of school clothing.
Drop off donations from 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at any of our three stores: Tampa – 5011-H West Hillsborough Avenue, Clearwater – 1059 North Hercules Avenue and St. Pete – 2168 34th Street South. Cash donations are tax deductible and are used to purchase clothing in short supply. For more information visit our website at www.clothestokids.org or call 727-441-5050.
