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. |
|
|
|
How can I help? |
- Donate your "gently" used clothing, shoes, and coats/jackets.
- Donate money or organize a fundraiser.
- Organize a Coat, Sock & Underwear or School Uniform Drive at your
place of business, school, or organization.
- Volunteer to work at the Clothes Closet by sorting clothing,
organizing shelves, cleaning, etc.
