EVERY DAY THOUSANDS OF KIDS MISS SCHOOL JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE CLEAN CLOTHES TO WEAR.

Teachers around the country estimate that nearly one in five students struggle with access to clean clothes.¹ This seemingly small barrier has a significant impact on a student’s academic experience. More than half of teachers surveyed believe these students are more likely to struggle with absenteeism, a critical issue impacting an estimated five to ten million students each year.²
