Why It Matters
All children deserve to enter the classroom dressed for academic success.
In 2023, 2 out of 5 children in the United States face clothing insecurity. Currently, there is no federal or statewide funding, and few organizations address this issue on a large scale. Note in the Pocket is meeting a growing, critical need. We work with local agencies, school districts, teachers, and social workers to identify students without the proper clothing and provide two weeks worth of clothing and shoes. Our partners share story after story about what a difference new clothes can make in a student’s confidence, sense of self-worth, and overall well-being.
Families have been well pleased with the clothing they received. Most recently, I had a middle school student who needed khaki uniform pants in a size 42. Note in the Pocket quickly provided the pants and some underwear, which were not requested in the referral. I consider this outstanding service, going above and beyond the call/expectations.
Before Note in the Pocket, we are unable to fill clothing requests for our families as we are unable to use our funding for clothing requests even though it is one of our biggest needs.
It is a wonderful organization! Our families have several children and have limited resources. Note in the Pocket is instrumental in dressing the children with a great selection of clothing.
I have been involved with Note in the Pocket since conception. Since then many dozens of families have received the necessary clothing to attend school with pride and dignity. During a students maturation up grades levels they begin to notice other students that have new clothes and they are wearing the same clothing they for months. Note in the Pocket is so much more than clothing for our students.
The Carying Place is immensely grateful to Note in the Pocket for providing the children in our program with age and season appropriate clothing. I have personally witnessed the way clothes from Note in the Pocket affect the children in our program. Many nights they come to our weekly program wearing the various new clothes and/or shoes they received and they are more confident and engaged in the night’s activities along with speaking with their peers.
