A Word of Thanks From Note In The Pocket

On behalf of the team at Note in the Pocket, I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for Our Lady of Lourdes’ support. Thank you for hosting a clothing drive in 2022! With your support, we received over 255,000 lbs. of clothing and clothed over 8,500 children and families across Wake and Durham counties. The donations we receive from clothing drives are critical to our mission and ability to address clothing insecurity across our community.

“There is a tremendous difference in the way the students hold themselves, walk, speak, and behave when they are wearing their quality, properly fitting clothing. With all the other stressors going on in their lives, having nice, clean clothes is one less thing they need to worry about. I’ve had multiple parents who want to keep their children home from school rather than send them to school without clean clothing. Clothes from Note in the Pocket preserves dignity and instills confidence in our students and parents.” — Case Manager, Referral Partner

Because of the continued support from our community we can meet the growing need and work towards our bold goal to clothe 10,000 children and families this year.

Thank you for providing comfort and confidence to these children and helping us get them dressed for success.
