Throughout the month of August, we are inviting the community to support kids in foster care who are going back to school! Let’s help these kids start off the school year on the right foot with NEW clothes and NEW confidence with a free back-to-school shopping trip at Brighter Side Giving Store.

3 WAYS TO HELP:
Here’s how you can help: (1) Sponsor a student's shopping trip (above), (2) shop our wishlist & donate new clothes at participating locations, or (3) spread the word by sharing this fundraiser on your social media (click the blue/white "Fundraise" button on this page)!

ABOUT BRIGHTER SIDE GIVING STORE:
Brighter Side Giving Store, an initiative of Every Child Lane County, is a resource for school-aged children in crisis. Children are invited to “shop” for free in a space that allows them to make choices. Two dedicated volunteer store hosts help them shop and feel seen, valued, and special. This experience is available by referral from partner organizations and serves children in foster care, unhoused children, and children experiencing other crises. Brighter Side Shoppers take home 4 outfits, sneakers, a coat and sweatshirt, undergarments, pajamas, a backpack, a book, and a few special extras like a toy or makeup.
