We were honored to help so many local families prepare for the new school year through our 11th Annual Dylan’s Closet Back-to-School Clothing Giveaway, providing free clothing, shoes, socks, and select school supplies to families in our community.
What many people don’t see are the months of planning, countless hours of organizing, sorting, moving racks, setting up, and prayers that happen long before the first family walks through our doors. By the time today arrived, we were tired, but our hearts were full of excitement and gratitude.
Then the doors opened.
We watched children excitedly pick out outfits they couldn’t wait to wear to school, saw parents breathe a little easier knowing one less burden was on their shoulders, and witnessed volunteers serving with joyful hearts as our community came together for a mission built on love, compassion, and kindness.
Everything we do is in Dylan’s memory, and moments like these are why our hearts are so full. Seeing his legacy continue through every smile, every hug, every pair of shoes, every backpack, and every act of kindness shared is the greatest gift we could ask for.
130 Families were served today and we had more volunteers this year than ever before! God is faithful. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, prayed, shared our event, and supported Dylan’s Closet. Because of you, families were reminded they are seen, supported, valued, and loved.
As we pack up and reflect on another successful giveaway, we leave feeling exhausted, humbled, and overwhelmingly grateful. God continues to provide exactly what is needed, and we are thankful He allows us to be a small part of His work as we honor Dylan’s memory. ❤️🎒📚
