Every December, the Shoreline Rotary takes a group of students from a local elementary school shopping for winter clothes. Because of COVID, they weren't able to do this in 2020 so they donated the funds to The WORKS. We have been using the funds to buy cute and cozy tops and bottoms. We are so excited to hang new items with tags in the store and families are very grateful to be able to pick out brand new clothes!
We've got more money to spend so we'll post more photos soon!
Thank you Shoreline Rotary for this very generous gift! We are grateful for your continued support!
