New Storage Containers Bring Clothing, Hats, Scarves, and Happiness to Clothing INC

For five to six months out of the year, Michiganders face treacherous winter weather, forcing us to bundle up in our winter gear. Clothing INC is making winter living more bearable for people in need. In the past year, they served 1,419 girls and 930 boys in sizes newborn to 18. Clothing INC understands their role in providing these resources for the community.

The Kellogg Youth Fund provided funding for new containers that will improve accessibility to clothing for youth served by Clothing INC. By attending staff meetings to inform teachers of the online ordering hub and delivery to the school’s office, Clothing INC hopes to encourage more young people to take advantage of these resources. Since opening in October 2013, Clothing INC has clothed 4,279 people in our community. The impact these resources have had on the community is clear. Students are excited when they receive a new coat, hat and mittens. Teachers from local elementary schools have utilized this resource to ensure that students have winter gear for the playground. Now open five days a week, Clothing INC continues to increase their impact on the community.

The overall goal of this grant funded project was to ensure that those in need have the necessary winter apparel to learn, work, and enjoy the winter season here in central Michigan.
