GIVE BACK WITH AN OUTFIT PACK

Supply a child with a week's worth of clothing

Participate in our Give Back with an Outfit Pack program and provide children with the clothing they need, whether they are at home, at school, or at play.

The Need

1 in 3 children in Massachusetts are at risk of Clothing Insecurity. Without adequate clothing, children cannot safely or comfortably attend school, play outside, or do everything a child should be able to do.

Give Back with an Outfit Pack

Our annual Give Back with an Outfit Pack program gives you the power to fulfill a child’s seasonal clothing needs by providing them with an Outfit Pack. These crucial clothing items allow children to dress appropriately and boost their confidence.

How to Participate

1. Sign Up

Use the registration form on this page! You can register as an individual/family or as a community/corporate group to participate. This year, you can choose between completing a full Outfit Pack or half an Outfit Pack. If you have children’s clothing at home, let us know so we can match you with a similarly-sized child to receive your donations! After registering, you will receive your shopping tag with details via email within 3-5 business days.

2. Fill Your Pack

There are plenty of ways to fill your pack. You can shop online or in person at your favorite store, or head to your closets and fill your pack with gently-used items.

3. Return Your Pack

Have you gathered all the items for your pack? Great! Please drop off your completed packs at any of our drop-off locations, or ship them directly to our Giving Factory at 281 Newtonville Avenue, Newton, MA 02460. We recommend aiming to complete your pack within 2 weeks of receiving your tag.

Finished? Please click here to complete a short form so we know the pack is on its way.

Different Ways to Engage

Participating as a Family/Individual

Think about the spare clothing you have at home or have outgrown. Sign up for a tag in that size and gender and receive a tag for a child in that same size.

Participating as a Community Group

Sign up to receive multiple shopping tags and hang them in your group’s common space. Community members can take a tag or two and complete it with new or gently used clothing. At the end of your collection period, drop off all your tags and completed packs at The Giving Factory or at one of our drop-off locations.

Participating as a Corporate Group

Use this program as a team-building activity. Sign up for a child or two and split the items on the list across the team so everyone is responsible to find an item or two. Have teammates take to the store together or shop online to create a cohesive outfit.
