Kids Need Our Help More Than Ever
For forty years, since 1984, our Clothes for Kids program has helped over 100,000 local school children and their families by buying new school clothes. Times haven’t gotten any easier.
Last fall we hosted 30 shopping trips at local Target and Walmart stores for over 3,000 local students. We also helped school counselors shop to fill their emergency clothes closets with clothes and hygiene items for over 1,500 more children.
We are planning to run a similar program in the fall of 2025.
Your tax-deductible contribution will help the most vulnerable local students.
Clothes for Kids is the largest of The 1701 Group’s 11 philanthropic programs. We also support our local veterans, provide food for deserving seniors, help homeless high school students graduate and go on for further education, provide scholarships for older students to return to school and study for their dream occupation, and much more.
New Philanthropic Support Building
Simply put, we’ve outgrown our space. We have room to expand at the north end of our lot behind our main building — And we need your help. We will start building in the second half of 2025 and look forward to occupying the building in 2026.
Our all-volunteer organization is ready to get to work. Won’t you help? Thank you for your generosity! The 1701 Group is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation. Tax ID# 88-0139673.
