Project Pride...
“Your family must be rich, your clothes are beautiful”. This was the quote of a classmate to one of our clients. The
mother turned to Christmas Charities for help to keep her children clothed for the school year.
We fully believe that quality clothes boosts children's self esteem and encourages them to stay in school. Our Project
Pride Program runs 10 months of the year, beginning the school year with our “Look Sharp – Feel Smart” campaign.
With quality new and “gently used” appropriate clothing, children can begin the school year feeling like every one else
who went school clothes shopping, regardless of their family financial situation. The children who take part in Project
Pride take a lot of “pride” in their appearance.
We keep the clothing assistance process as simple as possible. On the appointed date and time, clients come to look
through the clothing rooms. We have two rooms (one for each gender) stocked in a store-like setting. Clients are allowed
to select clothing and try on the garments in a private dressing room. Clients are free to choose any amount of garments
to satisfy their needs for school, work, church, etc. The average clients takes about two week worth of outfits. Children are
allowed to come three times a year. Adults are allowed to come twice a year.
All the clothing is given away free of charge. You Give. We Give.
