What is the Clothes Closet?
The PTA Clothes Closet
|
The Clothes Closet
assists students and their families with "gently-used" clothing items. The CFBISD Council PTA operates the Closet, and it is
not-for-profit and is maintained solely by local volunteers. We appreciate the continued support of the Carrollton-Farmers
Branch community. If you have any questions, would like to sponsor a community
service project, or would like to purchase items for the Clothes Closet, please
email us, and we can let you know what is currently in
demand.

Who
does it benefit? |
|
The
Clothes Closet benefits the children of our community. Clients must be referred
by the student's principal, school counselor, or CIS (Communities in School)
counselor. The referral forms are completed by the appropriate school agent and
brought by the client the day of the visit.

|
How is it funded? |
|
We are funded through
monetary donations from local business and residents, coat/clothing/
sock/underwear drives from local organizations (PTA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts),
and from volunteers who donate their time working in the Clothes Closet.

General Guidelines |
|
Due to the Clothes Closet
being a volunteer run organization, we are not able to pick clothing up from
donors. Listed below you will find the dates and times that the Clothes Closet
will be open during the school year so you can drop off your donations. All
donations are tax-deductible, and receipts are gladly given upon
request.
