Thanks to the generosity of Clothes Helping Kids, Inc. and a private donor, New Mexico Friends of Foster Children is offering a Style and Fit Clothing Award this fall. The primary goal of Style and Fit is to provide children in care the opportunity to select school appropriate clothes that fit their bodies and their sense of style. The clothing award is for $150 (including tax).
“Our mission is to provide support to community programs for children and youth in New Mexico”
Any child or youth (ages 4 to 17) currently in state or tribal foster care in New Mexico is eligible to receive the award; however, only 50 awards are available. Please apply right away if you are interested in receiving the award.
