Note In The Pocket is wonderful local charity which collects and distributes clothes to children from challenging backgrounds. It can make a real difference in the spirits of children socially and also represents a great alternative for clothes which no longer fit or are not in the routine anymore for any reason.

SFD is happy to provide a collection box for clothes donations which can be paid forward by this wonderful charity. Please feel free to bring along along donations at your next appointment or anytime during working hours, and we will deliver all clothes to Note In The Pocket at the end of the drive.

Clothing insecurity is an immense problem that lacks adequate attention. This issue impacts a child socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.
