Clothes To Kids of Denver became this quarter’s $5,000 winner of the Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric quarterly Caring Community Giveaway. This time, the award focused on exceptional works within the community in support of children.
Employees of Applewood initially nominated local charities for the Giveaway. The public then voted and selected the winner after the list was narrowed to Clothes To Kids of Denver, Denver Children’s Home and Food for Thought Denver.
Helping Children in Denver
“This quarter’s award is extra special, as we can all embrace the need to help the children in our community,” said Josh Ward, owner of Applewood.
Clothes To Kids is a boutique store in Denver serving low-income families facing crisis. Clothes To Kids’ mission is to enhance the self-esteem and confidence of children in the community by providing clean, in style clothing.
