Experience Matters has been a great partner to Back to School Clothing Drive for the past several years.  We have taken advantage of every single one of their programs including hosting an Encore Fellow who created our volunteer management process that we still use today.  Without that process, we would not be able to manage our 2500 volunteers in holding our annual New Clothes, New Beginnings Annual Distribution event that provides 5000 children with new clothes and schools supplies.
