Thank you Utah dps for sharing this story. Watch the video at https://youtu.be/cl9cbcBZ_Uo?si=6bSQQdX0bAOsyAcF

About 40 students were all smiles as they exited the St. George Kohl’s Friday morning, loaded down with new clothes to start the school year.
Before the sun came up, volunteers gathered at the district office to partner with students for the special shopping trip. Students needing a little additional clothing help were recommended by elementary school administrators.
Students and their shopping volunteer boarded two school buses to make the trip to St. George. Each had about $150 to spend on pants, shirts, shoes, socks and more. The opportunity allows some at-risk students to begin the school year with clothing similar to their peers.
One volunteer said her student was happy with everything he tried on. “He came out of the dressing room and said, ‘I love it,’” she said.
Another volunteer noted that the boy she shopped with said he had never owned clothing from anywhere other than WalMart or the thrift store.
As students exited the store, each was able to choose a backpack filled with supplies. Back at the district office, they couldn’t wait to show their parent or guardian the items they were able to pick up.
The event is sponsored by the Iron County School District Foundation. Student and Family Support Mentor Tracy Womack said the experience will make a real difference for students. The Foundation plans to make it an annual event and hopes to raise more funds to offer the opportunity to even more students next year.
Individuals or businesses can donate to sponsor a child at https://sfnd.io/backtoschool. All donations are tax deductible.
