Clothes To Kids Debuts New Video

Clothes To Kids of Denver is proud to debut our brand new video. You can help us tell our story by sharing it with friends, family and colleagues. Enjoy!

Thanks for a Great Blue Jean Bash!

More than 430 guests helped us celebrate our eleventh annual Blue Jean Bash on September 18, 2025 at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Our sponsors, auction donors and those who gave in the special appeal donated nearly $350,000 (and counting!) for Clothes To Kids of Denver.


Special thanks to Jon and the Locals, Tom Kimball and Paula and David Woodman for going above and beyond to make the evening so memorable!

We had a very photogenic crowd this year, so be sure to also check out our Google Photo Album to view and download photos from the event. Kudos to our talented photographer Stan Obert for capturing these lovely images!

Thank You To Our 2025 Sponsors

Cheers to our Blue Jean Bash Committee

Clothing and Shoe Donations Needed

Clothes To Kids had a record-breaking back-to-school season, serving more than 4,100 students in just the past three months! We served 3,500 students during the same period last year, so this was definitely a big jump for our store.


Please help us continue to offer every student who visits a great selection by donating your new and gently used clothing and shoes.

Detailed information about the items we accept, our greatest needs and how to give is on the Clothing Donation Guidelines page of our website. Thank you for your support!

Stand Out Service

Our beloved long-time volunteer Sam Robinson (bottom right photo) has taken on the role of Apparel Partner liaison with Vans. He is making regular pickups from seven of their front range stores and our students LOVE having such a nice selection of shoes to choose from! Special thanks to Keagan and Ella (Flatiron Crossing, top left), Axel (Southwest Plaza, bottom left) and George (Cherry Creek, top right) for their recent donations!


We were the lucky recipient of High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric's High 5 Cares program during the months of July and August. The team at High 5 also supported us throughout the summer and fall by bringing several car loads of donations and an enthusiastic, energetic volunteer group. Thank you for your service and for raising awareness and funds in support of our mission!


We are so fortunate to have the generous support of United Airlines! In addition to sponsoring the Blue Jean Bash, they partner with us in so many impactful ways. For example, just before the back-to-school rush, they delivered more than 1,000 brand new backpacks. Thank you for making back-to-school shopping extra fun for our student shoppers!


Our community has been all smiles thanks to our friends at fellow nonprofit Undies for Everyone! This incredible partner sent us an impressive 21,000 pairs of new underwear in June, which has allowed us to offer a great selection for both our summer and back-to-school shoppers!

Molly and Sean Hollis, owners of Gather Realty, along with their daughters Katy and Leila hosted an evening of fun and philanthropy at Pirates Cove Water Park. The gathering raised more than $3,000 and introduced us to a wonderful new group of supporters. Over the past 14 years the Hollis family has selected a nonprofit beneficiary for their event and this is the 3rd year in a row that they’ve chosen Clothes To Kids. Many thanks to this generous family!

A group of 7th graders from the Mile High Chapter of boys team charity and their families came together with heart and purpose - cleaning out closets and donating gently used clothing to support students in need as they head back to school. Their thoughtful contributions made a meaningful difference, helping students start the year with confidence and care. Plans are already underway to collect even more donations this fall.

Our friends from Liberty Media just wrapped up their annual back-to-school drive, and it was a HUGE success! They collected more than 130 pairs of new shoes, 660 pairs of new socks & undies, plus a big supply of new water bottles and backpacks. Thank you for boosting our inventory and helping so many of our students put their best foot forward this school year.

These wonderful volunteers from the Denver Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta sorted a mountain of donations and cleared some much needed space in our storage area. They have volunteered many times over the years, and we always love hosting this enthusiastic and hard-working crew.


Meet Julie! She works as a sales rep for several college apparel and sportswear companies and generously decided to donate all of her samples to Clothes To Kids. She’s brought in four full SUV loads of sweats, hoodies and t-shirts. Our shoppers have absolutely loved every item!


Check out at these gorgeous pieces from our long-time partners at Garb. This is just a sampling from the two carloads that they donated last month. Finding such beautiful, brand-new items is always a treat for our shoppers.
