It’s no secret that there is social pressure in grade school to look good and to fit in, but what if a family has little or no ability to provide appropriate clothing so that a child can attend school? With 14,000 children in our county living below poverty level, many kids literally wear the same pieces of clothing to school every single day. The Assistance League works to provide needy school aged children with new clothes so that they can focus on schoolwork and not be ashamed of how they look.
Host Kris Kington Barker will be joined by guests Gail Stoneburg, Chalene Ables, and Bonnie Long from the Assistance League to discuss this topic. You are invited to listen and learn on Thursday between 1-2 pm.
Central Coast Voices is sponsored by ACTION for Healthy Communities in collaboration with KCBX. The show addresses the many ramifications of change and how today’s choices will affect tomorrow’s community. Suggestions for future show topics may be sent to voices@kcbx.
