This year the poorest have been hurt the most. Gasoline prices havesoared, unemployment has hit nearly every household, many have lost theirhomes, and parents are forced to choose between paying their rent and feedingtheir children -- and all too often their children go to school in rags,showing that the Missions' Annual Back-to-School New Clothing Giveaway is morenecessary this year than ever before.

Yet, for the first time in the 20 years of this wonderful New ClothingGiveaway for the children, In-Kind donations have declined drastically. Withthe event only 2 weeks away, we have an urgent need for new jeans and pants,as well as shirts and blouses for children ages 6 through 16, to clothe atleast 5,000 underprivileged boys and girls who will attend this year's event.
New children's clothing is urgently needed -- pants, jeans, shirts,blouses, sweaters and jackets for children from kindergarten through highschool.
Clothing manufacturers, stores and wholesalers -- your help is urgentlyneeded. The Missions' truck can pick up pallets and large quantities.
Individuals -- your help is urgently needed. Go shopping for a needychild, or make a cash donation and the Missions will purchase the clothing.
Please join the Missions and Foot Locker in caring for more than 5,000needy kids!
