What’s inside a Note in the Pocket Mini-Wardrobe? It’s more than just two weeks of outfits, new socks, new underwear, and shoes. It is a transformation.

The shift is real: When a child feels confident in what they’re wearing, their focus shifts from fitting in to standing out. Help us provide the dignity and love every student deserves.
