Double the Confidence | 2025 Matching Funds Drive
Every day, children in Porter County walk into classrooms without the essentials they need to feel confident, comfortable and ready to learn. Dressed for School provides seasonally appropriate clothing and shoes at no cost to students from financially insecure or in-crisis families. Our store-like environment lets kids choose items that fit their style and comfort, boosting self-esteem, reducing stress, and helping them thrive in school.
Right now we have a special opportunity for your generosity to Double the Confidence in kids! Thanks to a matching gift pledge each dollar you donate to Dressed for School will be matched up to $10,000.
Your donation helps us:
- Use our buying power to purchase clothing at nearly half the retail price
- Provide seasonal wardrobes twice a year to qualifying students in grades K-8
- Respond to emergency needs for families facing crisis
- Expand our reach to more Porter County schools and students in need.
We are aiming to raise $20,000 by December 31st
Your gift helps children build confidence, the best outfit any child can wear!
