Jessie’s Closet has a giving tree for the Holiday season
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) -Â It's the seasn of giving back and one local store is helping foster kids in need by making some of their wishes come true.
Jessie's Closet started its annual Giving Tree about three years ago. It's set up with the names of kids across Yuma County who are in the foster care system.
It also includes kids who are under guardianship, kinship and those who have been adopted through the foster care system.
Last year, they were able to help about 100 children, but this year, they are looking to help around 120 children.
Each name tag includes shoes and clothing items that are around $20 in total.
The store director, Karen Liles, shares how the project came to life: "Nobody asked, but we could see that there was a need for the kids to have something at Christmas, sometimes the kids get moved on Christmas and maybe end up with nothing. We don't want our foster kids to be in that situation."
If you would like to donate to a kid in need, you can stop by Jessie's Closet anytime from now until Friday.
