Looking to help your community during COVID-19? Our clients desperately need well-fitting clothing and shoes. Volunteers will process clothing donations to produce mini-wardrobes. They will sort clothing by gender, season, and school-appropriateness; fold and label clothing with size and gender.
As a non-profit serving the children in Wake County schools, Note in the Pocket started with a simple mission: To Clothe Children in Dignity and Love. We believe that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school. Our goal for 2020 is to clothe 5,000 in confidence! COVID-19 has caused an increase in the number of requests received, as many have lost jobs and income.
In 2019, Note received clothing requests for 4,575 individuals, mostly children, throughout all twelve cities and towns in Wake County. NITP has served over 23,800 individuals since receiving our 501C3 status in 2013 . Learn more about Note in the Pocket and the children we serve at https://noteinthepocket.org/.
