“Children in foster care are given trash bags to put their belongings in. Trash bags were made for just that, trash, and no child should feel as if they are worthless and disposable,” said Nijel Murray, founder of Klothes 4 Kids. “This is why Klothes 4 Kids takes special care in how we deliver clothing to children. Each child receives a new duffel bag packed with new clothing and supplies.”
Donations can be mailed or dropped off at Clemco Postal, 8414 W. Farm Road. Ste. 180, Las Vegas, NV 89131.
Klothes 4 Kids is also accepting monetary donations, which can be made through its website,www.klothes4kidslv.org/donations.
For any businesses that would like to hold in-house drives, please contact Shon Murray at koolklothesforkids@gmail.com.
