SO, THIS IS THE ISSUE:

There are millions of children around the world in a state of poverty, many of which rely on humanitarian organizations to remain alive in such poor living conditions.

Grateful for anything they can get their hands on, these underprivileged youth are custom to receiving old, used, and often inferior hand-me-down clothes. Now, with the help of Hand Me Ups and our valued partners, these same kids can be outfitted in new, clean, and desirable branded clothing that will allow them to experience an enhanced sense of self-worth and a new sense of purpose.

Guiding the children of today will assure our tomorrow with new, innovative ideas that will set the trends and energize the forces that shape how business is conducted in the future. We look to prepare our youth academically while elevating their dignity and self worth with a new set of clothes. By us planting this seed of confidence, we are creating the opportunity for these young individuals to grow into something truly amazing.

What are we doing?

Hand Me Ups obtains support from clothing brands and manufactures who show a philanthropic interest by generously donating their new, excess, unsold stock.

We then distribute the clothing to underprivileged youth through diverse organizations who specialize in helping kids reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens working to achieve their personal and educational goals. These partners know the communities in which they work and help us ensure that the youth of tomorrow receive the new clothing they need in a manner that maintains dignity and fosters economic development.

The kids who participate in these events leave with a new sense of self worth and motivation to rise above their current state of poverty by utilizing their new found creativity, independence, and strong dignity.

Over 1 Billion children across the world are living in poverty Which means that 45% of the world's child population are unable to cloth themselves.

Over 15 million children in the United States are considered poor Poverty is the single greatest threat to a child's well-being, impeding the ability to learn and contribute to social, emotional, and behavioral problems.

In California, there are 4,669,483 families, with 9,250,111 children 20% (1,819,666) of those children live in a family of four with an income below $22,050

A new set of clothing means a new image A new image builds confidence, dignity, and self-respect that can be used towards creating goals, implementing plans, and turning dreams into reality.

There's been a 20% increase in child poverty between 2000 and 2010 51% of today's youth live with a single mother
82% of today's youth have been accustomed to hand me downs
100% of today's youth should experience what its like to put on a brand new t-shirt

About 1 in 2 children are born into poverty That's almost 50% of children in the world
