TEEN'S CLOSET - 1st quarter CARE SERVE GIVE
Our 1st quarter reach out was with Teen Closet. Let us share a little about what exactly teen’s closet is! The premise behind Teens' Closet is to provide clean clothing to teens between the ages 13-19 in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and surrounding areas who are in financial need. They can shop every other month and choose items they need. Teens' Closet volunteers also offer resume writing, interview tips and help set and achieve their goals... anything to help them shape a bright future and hopefully break the poverty cycle.
It was great to be part if the program for our 1st quarter outreach! We were able to get a list from them with needs for the store. Then we reached out to our local vendors and asked to help get the iteams off the list! They pulled through and made it amazing! After we dropped off the donations they expressed a huge need for a filing cabinet. We were able to purchase a filing cabinet for them and this was a huge blessing!
We also got to help them with “Priceless Prom” what is this you ask? It is free prom attire available to high school students on a first-come, first-serve basis at North Star Youth Partnership's annual Priceless Prom Project. This year's event is being co-sponsored by Tri-City College Prep. The donations are new or nearly new and have been donated by generous individuals in the community as a way to lighten the financial burden that attending prom often causes as well as a "pay it forward" recycling project. Dresses, purses, shoes and jewelry are available as well as tuxedos and suits for boys. No preregistration necessary for any of the event days. Any high school student wishing to attend can simply stop by during the event.
It was a very rewarding time giving back to the comminity in such a needed way! Hope you Enjoy looking at the photos!
