LITTLE BLACK TEE INITIATIVE
The Little Black Tee Initiative is a high-impact, week-long social media campaign and fundraiser designed to bring poverty awareness to the forefront of our community.
How It Works
To symbolize the limitations faced by those living in poverty, participants wear one single black t-shirt for five consecutive days. This visual statement serves as a catalyst for conversation, raising consciousness about the prevalence and challenges of poverty right here in Angelina County.
