There are people who cant afford clothes. What

sets us apart from good will, savers and other thrift
stores is we want to make a non profit organization
that allows people to get donated clothes free. This
is important because family’s have a lot on their
mind financially they might not be able to afford
new clothes but if we give clothes this could ease
their mind and have them save money for other
necessities such as food, housing, medical and
many more. Specific activities would involve
looking through clothes that either don’t fit, are old
or warn out and bringing them in. Then we would
sort them in categories the tops, bottoms, socks,
underwear and so on. Anyone can do this just look
in their closet or dresser.

few clothing items in our closet that go unworn
and forgotten, but they would be much more
useful in the hands of those who would use
them. We want to encourage people who have
clothes that they may have outgrown or dont
wear, to donate their clothes to those who
would benefit from having those miscellaneous

members and being able to reach
that big of an audience could
interest others. Last one we could
make flyers or put out ad in a
newspaper.
