Join us on Tuesday, September 15, from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, for a national virtual forum moderated by CNN anchor and national correspondent Erica Hill.
“The Missing Basic Need: What Clothing Insecurity Reveals About America’s Affordability Crisis” will bring together leaders from children’s clothing banks to examine newly collected national data, the growing demand for clothing assistance, and the difficult choices families are making every day.
Erica will lead a candid conversation with Deborah Blatt, Executive Director of The Sharing Shelf, and Megan Steinke-Chase, Executive Director of Note in the Pocket. Featured questions from clothing-bank leaders across the country will bring the data to life through their communities’ experiences. This is more than a conversation about clothes. It is a conversation about dignity, school participation, opportunity, and what families must sacrifice simply to make ends meet.
