2025 Community Impact


Clothes To Kids of Denver shoppers took home 15,555 school wardrobes in 2025, making it our busiest year ever! That's almost 325,000 pieces of clothing! An impressive 92% of kids left with a full 21-piece wardrobe.


Your contributions allow Clothes To Kids to provide a wide selection of clothing and shoes, as well as a fun shopping experience for the students we serve. Your belief in our mission is what makes our work possible.

Happy 10-Year Anniversary to Eileen!

Happy 10-year work anniversary to our volunteer coordinator, Eileen Robinson! Eileen is known for her authenticity, reliability and work ethic, qualities that have helped to draw an amazing community of volunteers and supporters to Clothes To Kids over the years. She manages all the behind-the-scenes aspects of our volunteer program...no small feat considering that includes recruitment, onboarding, scheduling and data tracking.

Eileen also heads up our community Bin Program, serves as our resident technology guru, lends her expertise to database design/management and builds strong relationships with local business and nonprofit partners by advocating for our mission wherever she goes. She has been an absolutely essential part of our organization's success over the past decade and we are so grateful for her dedication and passion. Thank you for being an essential part of our team!

Sharing the Love

The Helping Hands Committee from Ellab recently brought a great group of volunteers. The energy and enthusiasm of this speedy crew helped them tackle a mountain of donations and restock our shop after an especially busy week. Thank you for spreading joy and making a difference in our community.

We had so much fun hosting volunteers from the Land Title Association of Colorado. They visited as part of the company's first-ever LTAC Gives Back event and jumped right in on a particularly busy day. We really appreciated their help and look forward to hosting them again soon.

These cheerful elves brought in a big donation from the Cotopaxi Outlet store in Castle Rock. There were brand new socks, pants and tops. Every item was immediately snapped up by our shoppers. Thank you to the team at Cotopaxi for this generous gift.

We had so much fun celebrating our incredible team of volunteers and the retirement of our beloved development director Valerie Lunka (left, with Sam Robinson, Lesley Jennings and Kathleen Phillips) at our Holiday Appreciation event last month. Your service is what makes Clothes To Kids such a special place in our community!

Shortly before our holiday break, Jim Kellogg, who works as Vice President of Community and Retail Operations for the Colorado Rockies dropped off several boxes of awesome shirts and jerseys. New gear from local sports teams is such a treat for our shoppers.

Our good friend Wendy Allen brought in her annual carload of brand new clothing and shoes donated by the Denver Botanic Gardens Guild Members at their recent meeting. This wonderful group has held this collection for the last several years and we are so appreciative. Thank you for helping our shoppers stay warm and stylish. 

A mighty group of our most detail-oriented volunteers helped us complete our annual inventory count in just two days. Their speed and accuracy made short work of this enormous (and quite tedious!) annual task and allowed us to re-open to shoppers right on schedule. We are truly lucky to have such an amazing team.

The generous students, parents and staff at The Logan School for Creative Learning collected more than 200 coats at their winter drive last month. This gave our first shoppers of 2026 an especially good selection. Kudos to parent Katie McCord. for delivering them them to our shop.

Meet our amazing volunteer, Liz Markowitz. Dr. Liz (as she is affectionately known at Clothes To Kids) is an ultra-dedicated and long-time member of our Thursday volunteer crew who coordinated a coat drive at her gym, Method CrossFit. Their generous community gave an entire rolling bin of new coats. Thank you for helping our students feel warm and comfortable, no matter the weather.
