Give homeless kids clothes

If I could change one thing about this world it would be to give homeless kids clothes. I would do this because I feel sorry for every homeless kid who doesn’t have clothes. I would begin by starting a clothing drive at a church at the beginning and end of each season. I would have people who have clothes that don’t fit them anymore come and donate them. Then, people who don’t have very good-looking clothes for their children and who can’t afford clothes can have some for free.

I think this would be a very good idea. The church I used to go to does it. Everyone [finds out] about it by someone announcing it on the radio and also sending postcards to the members of that church. They also put up fliers.

I think this should be done every season, because then people would give clothes for the right type of weather. This is a good idea because homeless kids need clothes just as much and people with money do.
