Coins For Kids


I'm just a kid, what difference can I make? The truth is, kids make an enormous difference with their time, talents and resources, and CFK's annual Coins For Kids Drive is one important way to do it. Originally conceived as a campaign about "kids helping kids", this program has grown over the years to be one of the leading fundraisers for Clothes For Kids. Last year, children helped raise more than $32,000 for kids in need. During the months of March - June, we encourage kids to save their spare change and set it aside for kids like them, but in need of help. This will help support more than 4,000 low-income youth and their families in Snohomish County, and kids are leading the way. And it's not just for kids! You and your whole family can help. Challenge friends to save more change than you. It can be fun and this campaign allows us to continue to provide children with quality clothing, educational resources and build their self esteem while encouraging them to go to school and complete their education. Contact us for specific ideas of how you can help!

A testimonial from a client



"I wanted to share with you how very very thankful I am for your organization and the generosity of your supporters. We have had a rough year with my husband being amongst the ranks of laid off employees. When winter was approaching and my kids coats were not going to make it another year I was relieved to come to the shop and find a perfect fit for them both. They left so very happy and talked all week about the nice ladies at the Clothes for Kids store who give clothes and coats to kids who don't have money for new ones! They were both thrilled to be able to pick out items they were proud to show off and wear and came home to give their father a fashion show. The coats have served them so very well and kept them warm and dry in all the rare snow and have even been admired by many. What a relief it was to know my kids dressers were well stocked when I was juggling our other financial burdens. From the bottom of our hearts...Thank you."

An Auction Thank You


Clothes for Kids would like to thank the many volunteers, donors, sponsors, and everyone else who contributed to making our 2008 Auction a success.

Held on September 20, 2008, at the Embassy Suites in Lynnwood, the auction saw a record number of attendees bid on a variety of items generously donated by the local community.

Daisy Troop Sponsors One Warm Coat Drive for CFK


Daisy Troop 42948 in conjunction with all Machias Elementary Girl Scout Troops, is sponsoring a Coat Drive now through November 7, 2008. Please go to www.onewarmcoat.org for more information on how you can help. All coats, jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, hats and mittens are welcome.

Our local collection center is Clothes for Kids in Lynnwood. Clothes for Kids serves all underprivileged families in Snohomish County. From August 2008 through October 15, 2008, Clothes for Kids has already served 1300 families.

Nancy Laird-Burris, manager of Clothes for Kids says her facility cannot keep up with the demand. The shelves are empty and any and all clothes are welcome at this time. A public appeal just went out today and will be featured in The Herald within the coming days.
Nancy can be reached directly at 425-741-6500 or at nlaird@clothesforkids.org.

Let's see if we can really "warm up" their shelves and do a good turn this month by helping out our local community. Thank youJ
