<p>Last fall, the Low Country KDs collected school supplies for teens served by CAPA and also “cleaned their closets” for donations to the CAPA thrift store. The local alumnae have also earned two KiDs Grants, allowing CAPA to buy portable cribs for local parents and bedding for its residential facilities.</p>
