Our inspiration, the Clothes To Kids affiliates

LynnB General

Clothes To Kids captured Elaine Rubinson’s heart and interest when she attended their March 2015 fundraiser in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was motivated by their mission statement and intrigued by the creativity used to implement their mission. How wonderful for kids to shop with dignity at a scheduled time, and not feel as if they were receiving charity!

With the help of the new Board and dedicated volunteers, Elaine was able to make her passion a reality and start a new CTK affiliate in Connecticut. Clothes To Kids of Fairfield County was incorporated in November 2015.

We are inspired beyond words by the pioneering work of Clothes To Kids in Florida (founded in 2002) and Clothes To Kids of Denver (incorporated in 2008). Watch this video to see how CTK Denver is changing the lives of deserving families in the Denver Metro Area. It is our goal to bring the same level of service to families in need in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

There’s a new nonprofit in Fairfield County CT!

LynnB General

Clothes To Kids of Fairfield County is an exciting new nonprofit to help ease the financial burden on low-income families, and build self-esteem in children. Our mission is to provide new and quality used clothing to low-income school-age children, or children in crisis, free of charge. We envision a community in which all children have quality clothing so that they may attend school with the confidence and self-esteem needed to achieve academic success.

We have already received some donations of good quality clothing from family and friends. Our goal is to be fully stocked and ready to open our doors by spring of 2016, in a unique store-like setting where parents can shop with dignity and children can browse for their own style and size.

Volunteers and donors alike are needed to make this new project a success. Whether in the form of money, clothing or time, we ask that you join our cause and donate to Clothes To Kids of Fairfield County. Your contribution, whatever the amount and time, will be the catalyst that moves our venture forward.
