 CTKD staffers Katie and Lisa had a blast helping Phillis and Peter from the Sock It To 'Em Sock Campaign unload this HUGE sock donation from Bombas ! We are so lucky to partner with you and glad to share our donated storage space with such a worthy cause! #BEEBETTER #BOMBAS

This mighty group from the Challenge School spent part of their Fall Break from Cherry Creek Schools hard at work unloading trucks from our storage unit and tackling the pile of donations. Look at those muscles!

This fabulous group from YES Communities pulled out some extra tables for their massive sorting and restocking effort at the end of our back-to-school rush. Very helpful, given that shoppers took about 23,000 pieces of clothing home in the month of September!

Meet Bennett! As part of his 8th grade service learning project, he held a clothing drive that collected 1,500 items. He sorted and labeled everything and also created a presentation for his class documenting how CTKD impacts the community. We are grateful for all of Bennett's hard work to help other students thrive in school!

This super-focused and energetic group from Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company did the nearly impossible task of clearing the sorting tables in our donation center and fully re-stocking the boutique in the middle of our back-to-school rush!

Our friends at fellow nonprofit Button and Zipper saw our plea for coats on social media and sprang into action! Thank you to Nancy Coleman for delivering 60 warm coats for our shoppers. We are so lucky to have you as a partner!

Many thanks to the wonderful Mystery Donor who shipped three pairs of new Nike shoes to our boutique! They immediately went home with some VERY happy back-to-school shoppers. We hope that this generous person sees this post and knows how much we appreciate their kindness!

Xcel Energy Colorado sent a wonderful group of volunteers for their annual Day of Service. Kendra Black (Denver City Councilwoman for District 4) and her staff member Steven Hlavac even stopped by for a few hours of sorting! #XEDOS

Canvas Credit Union has sent several groups of volunteers over the past two months. They made a huge dent in "the pile" and were incredibility helpful and organized. Our shop looks amazing!
