1 in 3 children in Massachusetts are at risk of Clothing Insecurity and without access to winter essentials.

Clothing Insecurity for children during the cold winter months means that without warm coats, appropriate clothing, and boots, children are excluded from outdoor recess at school, missing important physical exercise and playtime with peers. With your support for our Gear Up for Winter initiative, we can ensure we are ready to keep Massachusetts children safe and warm this winter.
