1st Choice Insurance, North Judson, Indiana, making more happen for Kid’s Closet, North Judson, Indiana

“Children without needs” is the vision of Kid’s Closet, a program run by the United Methodist Church in North Judson, Indiana. The all-volunteer group served 550 children in 2014, giving kids in need 250 backpacks filled with school supplies, clothing and more. 1st Choice Insurance got involved last summer after learning about the program and the impact it has on the community, which is in the poorest county in Indiana. Employees volunteer one evening per month to help sort, fold and organize clothing, as seen here. They also assist with fundraising and collecting donations. The children served by Kid’s Closet are recommended by schools, churches, government agencies and sometimes even the families themselves. All go through a screening process and receive a home visit from a volunteer, who also makes sure the kids like the clothing they’re given and that it fits properly.
