About the Program

Every year, as a way to partner with families in our community The Salvation Army Kroc Center’s Clothe a Child program takes local elementary & middle school students on a special shopping spree for fall & winter clothing. This program is made possible by generous donations from the community.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center's main goal is to support local children with their physical, social, and spiritual growth by providing a meal and fellowship, needed clothing items, and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You and your child will shop together with a $150 budget and spend some great one-on-one time together. If you have more than one child, we will gladly pair them up with a volunteer.

How You Can Help

Volunteer to Shop with Families
Every year, over 200 community members volunteer their time to help with Clothe a Child. Since the parents/guardians are shopping with their children, we pair up a single volunteer with three families. This allows our volunteers to not only remain a key part of the event, but also gives the volunteer a chance to help navigate Target in a way that allows the families to have that special one on one time during the event. If a family has more than one child, we will pair up a volunteer with that child for the shopping portion of the event. Volunteering for Clothe a Child will truly be an experience that you'll never forget!
