RADFORD – Back to school time is just around the corner and a long-standing program can help Radford children get clothing just in time for the new school year.
The Radford Clothing Bank is once again gearing up for its annual August Kids Program. The program provides a $75 voucher for each income qualifying student in grades kindergarten through grade 12 attending Radford City Schools. The vouchers can only be redeemed at the local Fairlawn Walmart to purchase new school clothing and tennis shoes for each school aged child (K-12) in a family.
This year’s screening for eligibility will be August 4, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 4 – 6 p.m. at Central Church, 803 Wadsworth St., Radford. The Radford community and the 14 churches that sponsor the Radford Clothing Bank provide funding and volunteers.
In 2024, 313 students received vouchers through the August Kids program. Anyone wanting more information can call the Radford Clothing Bank at 540-633-5050. Donations to this project can be mailed to RCB, P.O. Box 994, Radford, VA 24143.
