Clothe A Child is a community project that works with Kohl’s to clothe underprivileged kids in Frisco.  This is an event that you won’t want to miss! 

In partnership with several Frisco churches and Kohl’s, Clothe-A-Child Frisco has set a goal of clothing 700 children this year.  Each child is identified by the Frisco Independent School District as one who would benefit from this program.  Saturdays, October 13 and 20, the children and their families will come to Kohl’s in Frisco where each child will be given a voucher for $100 to be used towards clothing items.  Each family is matched with a volunteer to assist in shopping.  At least 500 volunteers are needed to make this program a success.

This year, our goal at PTCC is 100 volunteers and to clothe 85 kids.  Check out the Yes! table for all the details or email Leigh Anne Crow at leighacrow@netscape.net or call 972-377-2300.

More about Clothe a child...

Clothe-A-Child (CAC) has partnered with Kohl’s Department Store to serve the new clothing needs of elementary school children within Frisco.

School counselors at Frisco ISD elementary schools identify children through interaction with the families and the free and reduced lunch program.

The counselor provides each qualified child an application to be completed by the parents, or guardians, then returned to the school.  This identification process takes about two weeks.  The applications are then returned to CAC where they are reviewed by a CAC Committee and selections are made.  CAC seeks to impact as many families from as many schools in our community as possible.  This is accomplished by accepting children from all schools while limiting the maximum amount of children per family to three.

Once the selection process is completed, each family is contacted by phone to confirm acceptance into the program, provided the details regarding the date, time, and place for the event.  In addition, each accepted child is sent home a reminder from school the week before the event.

Each year, Kohl’s opens their doors early one Saturday morning to CAC at no cost to the program.  Kohl’s provides adequate staff and support to run the store.

On the shopping day, the families and children come to Kohl’s.  Upon arrival, they are confirmed against the registration list and matched with a volunteer to assist them in shopping.  The volunteer spends time helping the family stay within their allotted amount of money, as well as, getting to know the family.  Each volunteer is encouraged to help the family address their pressing clothing needs.  The volunteer is asked to stay with the family until they are checked out, at which time the volunteer is free to leave or help another family shop.
