Cocotree Kids

Is it that big a deal if a child doesn’t have underwear? Underwear provides a critical layer of support for kids that goes beyond basic physical support. Not only does it provide a hygienic purpose—especially for menstruating girls—it also provides them with a sense of dignity and confidence. Without underwear, children are less likely to attend school or play outside. Having this basic need met allows them to focus on their education, personal goals, and to just be a kid.?It’s more than just underwear. It’s dignity and security.

?? Partner Spotlight: Cocotree Kids ?? This month, we’re shining a light on Cocotree Kids, a Natick-based non-profit dedicated to providing children across the state with access to an essential need: underwear. Last year, Cocotree Kids generously donated over 900 pairs of underwear to the Natick Service Council, helping us meet the needs of our neighbors with care and dignity. Their mission ensures that no child goes without the basics they deserve, and we are so grateful for their incredible partnership. ?? Learn more about their amazing work at [https://lnkd.in/egFAXa7R]. Thank you, Cocotree Kids, for making such an impact in our community and beyond! ?? #PartnerSpotlight #CocotreeKids #CommunitySupport #NatickStrong #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors

What an incredible year! We met our Season of Giving goal--not once, but twice!--and we received a $50,000 matching gift from one of our amazing donors putting our total over $100,000! We also had the honor of being featured on WBZ with Levan Reid where many people learned about us for the first time. We would like to thank all of you--whether it was through volunteering, spreading the word, donating, or even just liking our posts. We feel so incredibly grateful for the support we have received, and we are thrilled to announce that we distributed 161,396 pairs of underwear to 23,056 kids this year! Our initial goal was 130,000 pairs, but we were able to increase it by 24% thanks to all your support. Next year, our goal will be 200,000 pairs of underwear to 28,570 kids! Wishing you all a very happy new year. Great things are coming in 2025!

Thank you WBZ | CBS Boston for featuring us on Levan Out Live yesterday! Awareness is so important for a small but quickly growing nonprofit like ours—especially as we start our Season of Giving campaign from now until the end of the year. Special thanks to Charles River School for hosting our event, and to the 44 middle schoolers who packed 1,232 pairs of underwear for 176 kids! Did you know that 1 in 3 kids in Massachusetts experience clothing insecurity? Their access to underwear is even worse because unlike outer clothing, underwear cannot be donated for legal and hygienic purposes. Here at Cocotree Kids we are on a mission to provide new underwear to underserved youth across MA for their dignity and security. Our goal this Season of Giving is to raise $30,000 so we can purchase 60,000 pairs of underwear for 8,500 kids. Help us kick off our Season of Giving with a donation that will make a huge impact in the life of children across the state, as we aspire to Support Every Child, Every Wear. https://lnkd.in/eakACz8E
