Gibson International is hosting a back-to-school drive to collect new and gently used children’s clothing and new school supplies to help the youth served by the Mar Vista Family Center in Culver City start the school year off in supplied and in style. The clothing must be clean, practical, wearable and in good condition.
Currently there is a great need for new and gently used children’s clothing and shoes for newborns through age five and for stylish but serviceable school clothes and shoes for youth age six through 18. The Mar Vista Family Center also offers a young leadership program for ages 13 through 24, whose members need professional-looking attire for internships and leadersh
ip training programs.
Studies show that children who have appropriate school clothing feel more confident and have better self esteem, leading to higher levels of achievement.
“Helping families is at the core of our business,†says Scott L. Gibson, president and founder of Gibson International. “In that spirit, the agents at Gibson International have dedicated themselves to community efforts that support families and children.â€
“Helping children prepare for school involves more than just textbooks and school supplies,†adds Pat Heller, general manager and partner at Gibson International. “Kids need appropriate clothing to ensure they are ready to learn.
