In May of 1996 the Center completed its first full year of operation and served 268 students, increasing the number of pairs of socks and underwear given to each student to 5 pair.

In October 1996, the Center moved to Graden Elementary, Classroom #1.

Due to the overwhelming support of the community and we believe the ease of donating, the bin at the front of our facility has provided, we have been able to allow the Back-To-School event clothing to be separate from the year’s worth of clothing the students normally receive. We have also doubled the amount of clothing the students receive from last year. The only thing remaining the same is the number of new socks and underwear.
