  1. What is the purpose of Siouxland Change for Children?: • The purpose of Siouxland Change for Children is to collect spare change and other donations and use it to purchase clothing for students in need in public and private schools in Siouxland, and career clothing for high school students who need them for interviews but cannot afford them.

  2. The organization was proposed to and adopted by Mayor’s Youth Commission early in 2012. A goal was set of collecting $500.00 and donating 500 pieces of clothing to schools by the beginning of the school year in 2012. Members of MYC collected $718.91.

  3. CLOTHING PURCHASED AND DONATED • With the $718.91 collected, approximately 948 pieces of clothing were purchased. In addition, Redeemer Lutheran donated 345 items for a total of 1293 career and casual clothing items which were distributed to local schools in the fall of 2012. Since that time, an additional $1519.30 was donated by the Sioux City Police Officers’ Association, the Mayor and City Manager of Sioux City and individuals. This additional money was used to purchase socks, underwear, coats, and casual and career clothing which were distributed to schools early in 2013. This amounts to a grand total of $2238.21 raised; 2,650 pieces of clothing, valued at more than $26,500, were distributed to students in need in the Siouxland area.

  4. Member’s of Mayor’s Youth Commission sort the clothing in preparation for distribution.
