ABOUT US:
Children’s Clothing Giveaway, Inc. is more than a non-profit. We harness the power of our community to provide new and gently used clothing, shoes, books, toys, etc. to children in low income, displaced, homeless and foster families among us. Children’s Clothing Giveaway, Inc. started as a clothing swap at a church in the Leimert Park area of Los Angeles, amongst a group of mothers with small children. As one of the brainchild’s and members of this group, CCG founder Shenita Moore became responsible for the leftover items. Shenita would donate the items to other local charities, with no insight on how or if they were distributed within the community.
So, she decided to take matters into her own hands by creating a 100% donation-based, volunteer-run bi-annual event, in which the items would be given directly to families in the Los Angeles Area that needed them most, free of charge. With the generous donations of the community and consistent referrals from local schools, social workers and other non-profit organizations, CCG has served hundreds of families at each of our spring, fall and holiday events in the early years - and now year around with our weekly appointments!
Our new initiative shines a spotlight on CCG efforts over the last 10 years, which have kept tens of thousands of items out of California landfills, helping to create a more sustainable future for us all!
