Reply #78: I'm a teacher and buy a lot of my own clothes at the thrift store...

since I can't afford to shop anywhere but Walmart or Old Navy...at least at the thrift store I can look for better quality stuff.

Foster kids hardly get any money to buy clothes with as it is...so most of them probably do get their clothes from shelters, social workers or thrift stores. So, maybe, if these kids get a gift card they might actually be able to get some clothes. The families sure can't afford it on the small amount they get for being a foster parent. That probably barely covers food and utilities.
