Clothes To Kids of Fairfield County (CTKF) has been working tirelessly to keep our store shelves filled with warm winter clothing for children who need it most. Each year, more families walk through the doors of our store seeking help, and each year, the need grows. Children should be feeling warm and safe as temperatures begin to drop—not shivering at the bus stop without a proper winter coat.

For many children in our community, that’s the heartbreaking reality. Your support can change that! By donating, you give a child more than a coat—you give them the confidence and security they deserve and need. Kids who feel good about how they look are more available to learn and to interact with peers. Wrap a child in warmth this winter season by making a donation now!
