HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Many of our students face clothing insecurity - which means they cannot regularly access clean clothing that makes them feel good and fits them right.
A fresh set of clothes, a clean pair of socks or a new pair of shoes can make a world of difference to a student in need.
The best part is that our Closets are permanent, in-school resources, so our students can visit the Closet and choose the clothing they love and feel great in!
DESCRIPTION
Clean out your Closet for a good cause! We are a donation-based company and rely on community support. Donations go right back into the community, into the hands of those who need them the most!
Go through your closets and dressers and set aside new and gently used clothing. Pack it in boxes, garbage bags, or reusable bags and drop it off at one of our Donation Centers!
