It can’t be all work and no play, right?!? I texted the group chat a picture of alllll the hoodies I needed to sort through, and Katie replied, “Hahaha too bad I can’t run over there right now. Would love a photo of you reaching a hand up behind that huge pile. Or stacking them high enough to see if they’re taller than you.” Challenge accepted. 😂💜 -T

💜 Today was all about community! 💜

I had two clothing pickups…one from a wonderful community member who is always so supportive, and another from our biggest donor. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and continued support that makes what we do possible!

This afternoon, I also had the opportunity to attend a panel at the library hosted by the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois: “Beyond the Classroom: How Nonprofits Can Partner with UIUC Student Researchers.” I learned so much and am excited about the possibility of partnering with UIUC students to strengthen our mission and expand the impact we can make in our community.

Today was a great reminder of the power of making connections and building relationships. We are so grateful for the people who continue to show up, support our work, and help us access the resources we need to better serve the kids and families in our community. 💜💜💜 -T

Another day, another bag dropped off. 💜🥰 That makes 45 for the school year. 💜 As we head into the cooler months, we know requests will increase. If you have any new or gently used coats (even adult sizes!), boots, and/or warm winter clothing, please let us know and we can coordinate a pick up 💜 We accept all sizes, but really could use more on the larger end (boy & girl sizes 10+) and adult. Gift cards and financial donations are also really helpful and appreciated. 💜 Thank you for your support! 💜 -T

I am SO incredibly proud to congratulate my friend, co-founder, and partner-in-making-a-difference, Katie D Wachala, on being recognized as a 40 Under 40 honoree! 💜

I nominated Katie because I’ve seen firsthand how much she gives to our community. I truly don’t know where Clothes for Kids would be without her. When Clothes for Kids was just a little idea in my heart, it felt like an unattainable dream. I knew I couldn’t build a nonprofit alone, but when Katie offered to partner with me, suddenly it felt possible. Her kind and generous heart made it easy to say yes, but so did everything else she brought to the table. She’s creative, incredibly organized, great with spreadsheets and tech (a skill I very much appreciate 😂), and our strengths complement each other in so many ways. It really has been the perfect partnership. 💜 CFK has helped more than 225 kids since we started a year ago (and likely many more we don’t know about through our social worker closet restocks).

And Clothes for Kids is just one part of the incredible impact Katie makes. She volunteers with the CU Free Prom event, serves as our school PTA president, volunteers with Girl Scouts, and is also an incredible mom, wife, and friend.

Katie, it was an honor to nominate you, and I’m so happy to see you recognized for all the good you put out into the world. I feel incredibly lucky that I get to call you my soul friend and Clothes for Kids co-founder. 💜 Congratulations, my amazing friend! You deserve to shine. ✨💜 -T

Today was a work, work, work day!! Did a clothes pick up from a generous supporter 💜 and got through soooooo many bags of clothes. A LOT piled up this summer, so it feels good to get everything sorted and into bins (soon!), especially as we’re heading into fall & winter and gearing up for shopping days!!! And 508 items to Salt & Light 💜

The best remedy for a hard day? Going on a side quest to pool together formal items for a high schooler to get to go to homecoming, and then seeing how many bags of clothes you can fit on one arm to deliver to a school. Bags #41-44 dropped off for a family today, and one boy helped who cannot wait to dress to the nines ♥️.
