Charresa McCrary is looking for the right size.

Her kids need school uniforms, but there’s a catch.

“I always think, ‘Wow! This is just too expensive,’” Charresa said. Berndt Petersen from Channel 2.

But not at the third annual uniform giveaway at All Saints Episcopal Church in Midtown Atlanta.

Organizers say the need has never been greater.

“In 24 hours, we had over 400 families sign up and there are over 900 kids,” said event director Marcia Mayfield.

A year ago, there were only 500 of them.

Without this help, many families would be deprived of everything.

“I buy enough for four people. So I’m grateful for that,” said Tequila Williams, a mother.

McCrary says the gift is a godsend and she is grateful.

“It’s a good thing they’re doing. It’s going to help a lot of families,” McCrary said.

The annual uniform distribution began Thursday and was supposed to continue through Saturday, but the need was such that they ran out of clothes.

The church is buying more to care for the families who were on the list for Saturday.
