Mission Statement

To provide new and quality used clothing to low-income or in-crisis, school-age children in Fairfield County, Connecticut--free of charge. Clothes To Kids envisions a community in which every school age child has quality clothing so that he or she may attend school with the confidence and self-esteem needed to achieve academic success.

Description

Clothes To Kids of Fairfield County is a non-profit serving the Fairfield County, CT area. We believe well-fitting clothing, in which a child feels comfortable, can help build a child's feeling of self-confidence. Low-income or in-crisis school-aged children who live in the Fairfield County area will be able to come to our "store" to shop for free gently-used or new clothing, which we acquire through donations and purchases, in which they feel comfortable and confident. In order to shop at CTKF, a family may either use their official notification letter regarding their child's participation in their public school's free lunch program or a family can obtain a letter of referral from an approved community advocate. Each eligible child will be allowed to "shop" for a week's worth of clothing, subject to the store's clothing availability.
