New Initiative Begins After Labor Day

Kaitie's Closet--Back-to-School Supply Bag Giveaway and Storytime
Literacy volunteers read to the KC children at Storytime prior to the distribution. Children ages Pre-K and up are invited to join this activity. Each child also receives a book. After the story, the children join their families to participate in the clothing distribution. Some of the stories we have read are Pete the Cat, Marley the Dog and Biscuit the Dog. Children will receive a Back-to-School supply bag at the July 22 distribution through a partnership with Rim Literacy.
