How Do I Get Clothing For My Child?
STEP 1
​
​For each child needing clothing, obtain a clothing card from the school they are attending. The card must be completed and verified for eligibility by a school administrator, then signed by the principal. Please contact your child's school directly to begin this process.
STEP 2
​
​Call the Clothing Center on a Thursday to schedule an appointment. (594-3791) Appointments are set on a first come-first served basis and do fill quickly. The Center begins taking calls at 8:00am. Once slots for the upcoming week are filled, an answering machine will provide information for scheduling the next week. The Staff allows for 20 minutes per child.
STEP 3
​
​Bring clothing card(s), completed by your child's school, and some form of identification to your appointment(s).
