Frida’ s Clothing Referrals

 

 

      Our clients can count with supportive services such as Frida’s Referrals. Frida’s offers clothes for the whole family.

 

     Frida’s Referrals is a community sponsored program and part of the personalized safety planning.

 

     Community members donate clothes, shoes, and many other gently used items that are given to clients that are in transition into safety.

 

 

     In average a client can take up to 2 years to make a complete transition. During this time of transition the client can face economic challenges. The Frida’s Referral program can aid the client by saving them money while they get gently used clothes free from the community.

 

     Frida’s Referral program also assists a family with their Safety Planning as well. During a safety plan the client is advised not to worry too much for clothes since shelter staff always has a full stock ready to serve families around the clock.
