Lost and Found… Remember?

Heroes: Remember how badly your little sweetie begged for that jacket with their hero on it?  It’s in Lost and Found now…

Cuties: Remember how that panda shirt was the cutest thing you had EVER seen?  It’s in Lost and Found now…

Sporty: Remember how your future Hall of Famer just HAD to have the Under Armour or Nike jacket?  It’s in Lost and Found now…

Inspirational: How can these words stir our hearts and minds if they are hanging in Lost and Found?

Places: Remember when your family went to Amsterdam or Canada or Colorado or UT and you got them that jacket so they would remember the trip?  Want to go back and pick up another, or go with the cheap option and pick this one up from Lost and Found?

Warm: I know last week was 80 degrees, but this week is 40 degrees, and your kid’s warm winter coat is… wait for it… IN LOST AND FOUND!!

Please take a minute to look over these photos and see if anything looks familiar.  There are MANY more coats than this in Lost and Found, so come by soon.

Also, please take a minute to label all jackets with first and last name.  I return all jackets with names!!

 ALL LOST AND FOUND ITEMS WILL BE DONATED AT THE END OF THE DAY ON DECEMBER 19th!!
