A BIG DAY FOR CLOTHING INSECURITY AWARENESS. ❤️
We’re incredibly proud to share that Governor Tony Evers has officially proclaimed September 15 as National Clothing Insecurity Awareness Day in Wisconsin.
This is an important step in recognizing something we see every day at Community Clothes Closet: clothing is a basic need.
And on September 15, this conversation is going national.
Join our very own Development Director, Karissa Buck, and clothing-bank leaders from across the country for a national virtual forum moderated by CNN anchor and national correspondent Erica Hill:
“The Missing Basic Need: What Clothing Insecurity Reveals About America’s Affordability Crisis”
📅 Tuesday, September 15
⏰ 1:00–2:00 p.m. CST
A huge thank you to Note in the Pocket and The Sharing Shelf for including Community Clothes Closet in this important conversation and for creating space for clothing-bank leaders to share what we’re seeing in our communities.
The forum will explore new national data, the growing demand for clothing assistance, and the difficult choices families are making every day.
Because this is about more than clothes.
It’s about dignity. Opportunity. School participation. And what families are forced to sacrifice simply to make ends meet.
We’re honored to help bring the reality of clothing insecurity in our communities to a national audience.
