Great opportunity to clean out your closet and help DC children!

I just received this flyer from Child and Family Services in D.C.  They are trying to help the teens in foster care in D.C. have something to wear to their prom.  

I donated to their Christmas toy drive and was really impressed with how well it was run, and was really moved thinking about children living in a shelter who might not receive a gift if not for the generous donations. 

Please consider looking through your closet for this good cause and forward to others.  Thank you!
