On Sept. 13, the community gathered at The Bradford in support of Note in the Pocket’s mission to end clothing insecurity for children in Raleigh and Durham. Enough money was raised at the Footprints of the Season gala to clothe nearly 1,700 children and families in need. Executive director Dallas Bonavita unveiled Note in the Pocket’s plan to release a free starter guide to assist similarly-focused organizations, and mayors and representatives from Morrisville, Apex, Durham, Raleigh and Zebulon joined to support this initiative.
