In partnership with several Frisco/Little Elm churches and Kohl’s, Clothe-A-Child has set a goal of clothing 1200 children this year. Each child is identified by the Frisco/Little Elm School Districts as one who would benefit from this program. Saturday, October 11th or October 18th, the children and their families will come to Kohl’s in Frisco where each child will be given a voucher for $100 to be used towards clothing items. Each family is matched with a volunteer (volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or over) to assist in shopping. At least 800 volunteers are needed to make this program a success. With a goal of providing $100 of clothing to 1200 children, a gift of your time and resources is needed. FBC Frisco has set a goal of sponsoring 75 children this year and we need 35 volunteers. Please prayerfully consider investing in the lives of these children. You can get more information on ways to help or you may sign up by contacting Kristy Marr at 972-335-0269 or email kristykm77@hotmail.com.
