Frenchie’s Closet was created in honor of Board Member Cris Persico’s daughter, Frenchie. Frenchie, who faced neuroblastoma, passed away at age 10. Frenchie’s huge heart and compassion for others were contagious.  We are proud to provide essential clothing items to children in Collier County and Chicago in her memory. We provide everything from clothing basics to school uniforms to winter weather gear. 

This year, Chicago students will receive high-quality winter coats, hats, and gloves. These clothing items help students feel confident, comfortable, and ready to learn each day.
