Orphan "Annie!" Clothing Drive

Family Matters Real Estate and Front Porch Musical Theatre is proud to announce the "Orphan Annie Clothing Drive".

In 1932, Little Orphan Annie was without a home, a coat, or any warm winter clothes. Today there are still thousands of Minnesota children who are without a family, without a home, and without adequate winter clothing.

Family Matters Real Estate believes that, "every family does matter, and every child matters". So please join us this Thanksgiving and Christmas season starting November 16th running through December 15th in bringing new or slightly used coats, hats, scarves, gloves, socks and other warm clothing to our drop off boxes located at the TriStar Model Home (5425 Polaris Ln N, Plymouth), The Re/Max Results Office in Maple Grove (13784 83rd Way N) and Uptown (1221 W. Lake St. Minneapolis) and at all eight "Annie!" performances by Front Porch Musical Theatre at the Brooklyn Center High School Auditorium (6500 Humboldt Ave N., Brooklyn Center - drop off available only during performances) December 5th - December 8th.

Then join us at the TriStar Model Home on Sunday, December 15th from 1pm-5pm for our closing Orphan Annie Clothing Drive event for a chili lunch, cookies, pictures with Santa and Orphan Annie! Bring you kids, your clothing donations, your appetite and join us in experiencing the TRUE meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas this year!

All donated items will be brought to several area charities such as C.R.O.S.S., Hope for Youth MN, and Anoka Community Mission.

Thank you for your generous contribution, and may "The sun come out tomorrow" for hundreds of children in need this holiday season!

"Because every family matters, especially during this holiday season".
