We have an AWESOME community.
Everyone has a need, and everyone has something to offer. We chose to start with clothing. Community for Kids (C4K) coordinates and redistributes clothes provided by generous supporters to Dare County elementary students in need.
OUR KIDS are the foundation of our community.
C4K strives to empower Dare County youth to overcome economic obstacles and thrive as individuals. Everyone benefits when children learn early that they play an important role in their family, school, and community.
At Community For Kids, students select clothing they like and receive a paper T-shirt suggestion on how to pay it forward. In both small and meaningful ways, our youth are inspired to contribute to their community and build a sense of purpose.
Make an appointment
C4K provides free, gently used clothing for Dare County elementary students in need. We are a non-profit, volunteer-operated organization, and visits are by appointment only.
The appointment calendar is open from late summer through mid-January, after school and on select Saturdays.
Foster children and families facing significant hardship are prioritized. Appointments for these situations can be scheduled year-round by emailing admin@C4Kobx.org or calling 252-216-6033. We aim to respond within 24 hours.
Each child receives a wallet with pretend money to shop, selecting approximately ten items in a fun, empowering experience.
The information we collect from you will only be used for appointment preparation and communication with you. WE WILL NOT share individual information with ANYONE.
