Five hundred students shopped Thursday for new back-to-school clothes — some of them for the first time. At the event hosted by the Salvation Army, volunteers helped these at-risk kids load up with shirts, pants and sneakers at 11 retailers across the metro area. Volunteer Lisa Beier, a girls' clothing designer for Target, helped 5-year-old Kelsy Marquez of Minneapolis pick out clothes — and Kelsy ended up choosing one of Beier's pajama sets.
