It's that time again! Time to put little for the First Day of School Drive to support first graders in the McKinney Vento Program run through APS.
The details about what is needed are highlighted well in the flyer, so I won't repeat them here. Instead, I want to share with you all that the primary reason we do this drive each year is to highlight the great need in Albuquerque. Last year alone, this program served over 300 families that were unhoused last year to get back on their feet and on track to stay housed, employed, and able to provide for their family.
I am proud to support this program alongside other small businesses. It takes a little extra time each year to organize and sometimes catalog these outfits, but if it means one more person is aware of the need or one more family is connected with help, I feel that the extra time is well used!
If you'd like yo know more about what McKinney Vento does. Please go to the website listed in the flyer. If you need help with patterns for sewing children's clothes, please reach out to us!
