AmeriCAN: Krissi’s Kloset

Today’s AmeriCAN is 16-year-old Krissi Fajgenbaum of Raleigh, North Carolina. Inspired in part by Diane’s Appalachi special and the soaring unemployment in her state, this high school sophomore started "Teens 2 Teens," an effort that "partners" teens from financially stable areas with teens whose families are struggling. It started when Krissi organized a clothes drive in her community and sent donations to Robbinsville High School where students were in need. The kids from Robbinsville now run "Krissi’s Kloset," a free students-only clothing boutique.
