As the mother of founder Amy Vann, Shirley has been a guiding light to Give Like a Mother from the start. Despite working full-time and living 3 hours away, she often made weekend trips to give her time in support of her daughter's mission to clothe children in need. As GLAM grew, so did the need for items. She would often receive a late night call from Amy:
"Momma, we have no boys' pants left to make packs. Can you stop by Walmart to get some?"
And 6 short years later, some things never change! The quality, size, and type of clothing donations we receive is variable and as a result, we experience gaps in our inventory. To fulfill our promise to adequately clothe each child who requests our help, we purchase items needed to ensure each pack contains the promised contents: 5 outfits, a jacket or coat, pajamas, new socks and undies, and a pair of shoes.
We are in search of guardian angels like Shirley who will answer the call when emergent clothing needs occur. Join our team of angels who help us ensure that the children we serve receive the items they deserve!
How does it work?
As a guardian angel, you will receive a email every time we have an urgent clothing need that you may be able to assist with. You can purchase that item online and have it delivered to us, buy it from a store and bring it to us or a combination of both! We have an Amazon Wishlist that is always up to date with our most needed items.
