We’re honored to be voted Best Children’s Clothing in the 2026 People’s Choice Awards from The Daily Gazette of Schenectady! 🏆
Every piece of clothing we provide goes to a child in crisis, completely free. To be chosen by our community as the best in children’s clothing tells us something we’ve always believed: kids facing hard times deserve the very best, not leftovers.
Thank you to everyone who voted, donated, and shared our mission. This award belongs to you, too.

A heartfelt thank you to the soldiers of the SSG Horace D. Bradt Army Reserve Center.
On Saturday, members of the unit marched to our Crisis Intervention Center carrying food, toys, and clothing for the children and families we serve.
Every year, Things of My Very Own supports 2,000 to 3,000 children and families in crisis. These soldiers saw that need and answered it, one step at a time.
What they delivered will go straight into the hands of kids and caregivers facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. A warm coat, a full pantry, a toy to call their own: these things matter more than most people realize.
To every soldier who showed up: you serve our country, and on Saturday you served our community too. We’re grateful.

A huge shout-out to JJ’s Tree Service and their amazing team!
Last week, part of our neighbor's tree went KA-BOOM in our yard. Within hours, JJ’s was on-site, saw-saw-sawing as though the future of the world depended on it. Thanks to their team, our premises is again safe and free of debris.
If you need a tree company, do not pass go, just call them immediately 518-346-1092. We have nothing to gain or lose from this post but since our mission involves keeping children safe, we want to help keep yours safe by recommending awesome companies! 💕
