How are the children selected?
How are the children selected?
The school administration in each school assists with the selection process. Children aged 5 years old - 12 years old are selected based on need. Applications are provided to the schools who work with the parents or guardians to complete the information. The information collected includes age, clothing/shoe size, grade level, contact information, and signature of a parent or guardian. The applications are then collected by the schools and given to a representative of White Mountain Clothe-A-Child prior to the December date for the shopping event.

WMCAC allots $125 per child -- this amount may change each year based upon the total donation funds received. With the help of the local J.C. Penney store, our money goes a long way toward purchasing coats, shoes, pj's, underwear, shirts, jeans, and other warm clothes for each child.
How many events does WMCAC host each year?
How many events does WMCAC host each year?
WMCAC hosts up to two (2) events each year based on funding. We aim to host a Back to School program every August, and a Christmas program every December. If there are only enough funds for one event -- we will just hold the program in December. We recently started providing supplies for the emergency pantries at schools, which include new socks, underwear, and leggings.
