Mission Statement
Background
Note in the Pocket provides quality clothing to homeless and impoverished children and families with dignity and love.
Note in the Pocket (NITP) believes that children should not be limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school. NITP works with school social workers and case managers from 21 agencies across Wake County and Durham to identify students in need and prepare seasonal wardrobes consisting of two weeks’ worth of outfits customized to each child’s specific sizes and styles. By providing personalized, high-quality clothing items that children can be proud to wear, NITP empowers them to succeed in their academic and social environments.
Brag Lines
Note in the Pocket is the only local organization that is addressing clothing insecurity at the scale of its distribution program and clothing children in confidence. Since 2013, NITP has clothed more 45,000 individuals. As they celebrate their 10th anniversary, they have a goal to clothe 10,000 children and family members in 2023. In 2023, 5,386 volunteers provided 26,151 hours of service through NITP.
