We were in Factoria on Thursday, where over 100 kids hit the shelves at Old Navy.
Each of them got $150 to buy whatever they wanted with 10% off their entire purchase, but this was a math equation they didn’t have solve alone.
“Parents are pressing the panic button when school’s about to start,” Salvation Army Northwest Division Major Terry Masango said. “Should they buy clothes or pay rent?” That wasn’t the case for any of the kids we saw on Thursday, each of whom had their own volunteer, including our own Linzi Sheldon, who was paired with 14-year-old Interlake High School freshman Dulce.
Perhaps most importantly, though, this is an event about getting kids what they want and need to start the school year right.
