L2 for Kids

Think about the spring a new pair of shoes adds to your step the first time you wear them. How about the confidence from a whole new outfit?

Now imagine how you would feel getting shoes and brand new clothes for the very first time! It’s a feeling that has been shared with many underprivileged children over the past years of building L2 for Kids across central Nebraska.

With the help of local churches, counselors, and school personnel, applications will be given to the parents of children needing school clothes. Based on a family’s application of need received by L2 for Kids, Inc., each child in grades K-12 will be offered a one-time shopping trip to purchase new school clothes.

The program’s aim is to increase a child’s self-esteem and sense of well-being.

L2 stands for Lazarus in the Bible who was given a second chance. Like Lazarus, children have a second chance with new school clothes for the first day of school. With the help of local churches, counselors, and school personnel, applications will be given to the parents of children needing school clothes.

L2 for Kids is striving to give all children the opportunity to hold their head up high and gain self-confidence. Children who feel good about themselves and their appearance exude confidence, which promotes success and accomplishment.

Success of the program is reflected on the happy, delighted faces of the children who will have new clothes to wear to school, and their thankful parents who cannot afford to buy new clothing for their children.

Everyone associated with L2 for Kids are volunteers and do not draw a salary from the funds donated. Some big non-profit organizations tend to give back about 20 to 30 percent of the funds donated and have CEOs who draw ridiculously high salaries. This does not occur with our charity! All funds donated stay in the local communities and go to buying clothes for school children in need.
