Keep Kids Cool This Summer

With summer upon us, many families are discovering that last year’s shorts and swimsuits no longer fit their growing kids. For many low-income families, buying a whole new wardrobe just isn’t possible as they face a long summer ahead.

This season, we anticipate providing over 1,100 wardrobes to local kids in need. Each child will receive summer essentials like shorts and tees, pajamas, swimsuits, and shoes—helping them stay cool and comfortable all summer long. Whether they’re participating in school activities, running through the sprinkler, or hanging out with friends, we want every child to feel confident and cared for.

You can help make this happen. A donation of just $100 can provide two siblings each with a week’s worth of shorts, tees, and a swimsuit—keeping them comfy while they play outdoors.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Become a monthly donor and support Arlington's low-income kids year-round—keeping them warm in winter, cool in summer, and comfortable every day in between.

We also welcome volunteers!
Spend a few rewarding hours in our store helping sort and organize clothing in a fun, friendly environment. No experience needed—just your time and a willingness to help. Learn more and sign up here.
