Clothing Bank Needs Donations

Growing demand and shrinking donations have left the PTA Clothing Bank in dire need of help, director Kim Kerschen said.The clothing bank, run by the Bernalillo County Council of the PTA, provides clothing to about 35 to 40 K-12 students per day ¨C almost double the number it served last year."The problem is this year our income donations are down.Most popular Cheap Sassy Sailor Cutie Costumes types usually have a good team involving talented in-house fashion designers who study the latest general trends and styles, and design outfits accordingly. We've never really seen a huge decrease of in-kind donations, but this year we have.Stretch and pin the pieces of elastic to the inside to each sleeve.

I don't know if people are hanging onto things a little bit longer ¡­ but because our in-kind donations are down, as well as our financial donations, we're really struggling to hang on now," Kerschen said.

This year, they've already seen more 1,100, with the year only halfway through and before its peak season."Our peak time hasn't hit. Next Tuesday is really when it starts to get busy. Christmas is an extremely busy time for us. So we're not sure what's gonna happen there," Kerschen said.

Kerschen said some kids have been turned away this year.If the organization does not raise $20,000 by February, it will likely have to close, she said.The PTA Clothing Bank accepts both new and used clothing, as long as "it's in style," Kerschen said.Most needed are jeans and T-shirts, sizes 7/8 to 10/12. Kerschen also noted an increase in the number of high school students who have needeThe hair for a Cheap Sorority Cindy Schoolgirl Costumes should be a natural color.
