Hangers is an EVSC Foundation program that provides a year’s worth of clothes, shoes, coats, and personal hygiene items to nearly twenty-five hundred young people each year. Hangers goes above and beyond by helping even more (roughly another one thousand) students with “partial†service—specific, one- or two-item needs such as a black dress for concert choir, or a tie for a job or scholarship interview. Hangers has built the reputation of a solid, act-swiftly resource for EVSC schools and the children they educate each and every day.
Saturday evening is an important fundraiser to continue serving not only the EVSC community but also the Evansville community as a whole. Along with clothing, a child or teen receives the important reminder that they are loved, they matter, and that the community is there to support them.
There will be both corporate partners and individuals sponsoring tables at Saturday’s fundraiser. Special guests Cindy Banks and her grandson, Malik (who benefitted from Hangers three years ago), will be sharing their stories of where they are today and the importance of Hangers during their time of need.
