There are hundreds of kids in need in the Sacramento area.  While food and shelter are of the utmost importance, they are often in need of clothing as well.  The Underground provides a place for these students and their families to receive free, stylish clothing through their shop in the Sunrise Mall. Sophia, a senior at Casa Roble High School walks us through how it works.
Like  most charity organizations, this one functions only with support from the community. If you would like to donate clothing or time you can drop by Wednesdays from 11am-4pm or Saturdays from 11am-3pm. You can also call Kaylon (916)952-9797 or Edith (Spanish) (916)979-8877 or email [email protected]. They accept high school age and older as volunteers.
If your student is in need of clothing contact staff at your school for a referral and use the contact information above to make an appointment.
