Children Launch T-shirts to ‘Spread Love, Not Germs’

Every Spread Love T-shirt sale provides 10 meals to children in need through #NoKidHungry, which gives meals to kids at home from school in need of food. The T-shirts are available for sale at Coco + Lala’s online shop at cocoandlala.com, and on Instagram @cocoandlalawatchill. The children came up with the idea because they were missing their grandparents, aunts, friends and teachers these past few days while social distancing. So far, they are up to 4,000 donated meals and have sold out of the T-shirts twice. The short-sleeve T-shirts are $30 and the long-sleeve ones are $40. There is also an infant onesie for $28 and an adult hooded T-shirt for $45. The shirts are hand-dyed and printed in the U.S. They are screen-printed locally in Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Shannon Doherty, owner of the Coco + Lala boutique in Darien and, two seasonal stores in Watch Hill, R.I., said, “My children miss their grandparents and aunties, I want my children to know
