Thanks to donations from the community and viewers like you each of these kids receives $150 dollars to pick out new clothes and pickup their pride.
Each child is paired with a volunteer to pick out their new school clothes at various shopping events.
“As they go around and to see their faces where they can grab new shoes and new pants new clothes it really helps their self-esteem,” said Major Roy Wild, Salvation Army Northwest Division.
