On Friday, April 27th, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., we’re starting the weekend early with a “Packing Day” for the local charity Shoes & Clothes for Kids (or “SC4K”). SC4K is a unique charity, which not only distributes clothing and shoes to needy children throughout the Greater Cleveland area, but also makes it an integral part of its mission to build those children’s self-esteem by furnishing only brand new clothing and shoes. Through a network of wholesalers that sell children's clothing at deep discounts, SC4K is able to purchase between $20.00 and $25.00 worth of brand new clothing for every $1.00 spent. SC4K also purchases and distributes discounted Payless Shoe gift cards instead of shoes, allowing families to purchase new shoes or boots of their own choosing that are stylish and fit properly.
At our Packing Day, FBA-NDOC members will gather in SC4K’s warehouse to unpack boxes of new clothes, break down boxes for disposal, sort and prepare new clothes for distribution, and pack sorted clothes into new boxes for delivery to SC4K’s more than 30 distribution partners in the Greater Cleveland area. We are looking forward to a fun, hands-on volunteer experience! Even more, we’re excited to have this opportunity to work towards helping SC4K to achieve its commendable goal of providing: “More than new outfits. New outlooks.”
A Packing Day is a fun, team-building opportunity that involves some physical labor (making boxes, opening boxes, moving boxes). We hope to see you there!
