Around the Block 2019 Success!

This past year with your support, we were able to clothe 2,000 children with new clothing, shoes, backpacks and books at our annual Around-the-Block programs! Across our three Around-the-Block events that took place last November, we surpassed the previous year’s number of children in need clothed. Thank you to our volunteers, supporters, KOHL’s, and board members for an experience we will never to forget. Let the children be your inspiration to sign up online and volunteer in the future!
