5,000 Kids Get New Clothes for School

Helping disadvantaged kids’ lives get a little easier. 

Imagine a child going to school not wearing underwear or socks, in jeans they’ve outgrown, and walking to school without a jacket or in worn-out shoes. Imagine a child missing school because they don’t have clothes. Imagine their stress and embarrassment.  Unfortunately, this is reality for thousands of kids in Salt Lake County. Assistance League helps these kids.

Studies show a clear connection between a child’s appropriate clothing and their school attendance, conduct, classroom performance and self-esteem. 

Building confidence and self-esteem – 5,000 kids ready to learn

Kids want to fit in with their peers and feel they belong. We make that a little easier. We make family life a little easier. Overwhelmed parents and guardians get some relief because money not spent on school clothes can pay rent, keep utilities on, and buy food or gas.
