Clothe-A-Child

It's purpose is to provide new clothing to deserving children who might not otherwise receive the needed wardrobe. The program is conducted annually on a Saturday in October.

Volunteers are an essential part of this exciting program. Please take a moment and see how you might help, and be fulfilled, in giving your time to a child in need.

Don't feel bad if you need their help to clothe your babies, mommas. They need it like you need their love. Its noting to be asamed of. More people use the program than you think.

Here is a story of a mother or two who had two sons that grew like weeds who needed winter clothes for them that fit and were in great shape. Her sister helped her sign up for the program to help her out. This program is sponssered by The Morning Journal and all $ donated goes to the CAC program to contribute to families in need during the winter/christmas season.

Maddy says she does not receive any child support for her sons and, unable to find a job, has to support them using government assistance. After all the bills and rent is paide, the wallet is pretty much dried up and unable to spend on rediculous things the rich use once then set it in the back of the garage for the rest of eternity. Not to mention that her foodstamps don't quite meet the requirements to feed their mouths all month long. (When are they ever??)  and her two sons have issues that could hardly eet what she calls the right care; asthmatic and ADHD.

Dear reader, I was once able to get help long with my brothers for winter attire. My mother did good in finding or was given the chance. Sincerly, Elizabeth
