Clothes Closet

 

Purpose

 

The Clothes Closet is designed to help those that are less fortunate in our own school district. Forms are generated by the nurses in each school for children who are in need of school clothes. The parents bring the forms to the Clothes Closet where they choose outfits and receive new socks and underwear, plus a coat and jacket for the winter. All clothing from the Clothes Closet is provided free of cost to the families in need.

 

Sponsors

 

The Round Rock Council of PTAs sponsors the Clothes Closet.  The Council is made up of PTA representatives from all the schools in our district.

 

Each school has a school Clothes Closet chairperson for the school year. For the 2009-2010 school year, Canyon Vista's Clothes Closet co-chairperson is Lisa Mahendru, Lisa.mahendru1@gmail.com, 345-3663.

 

Donations and Volunteers Needed

 

Donations may be dropped off with the school nurse or you may drop them off at my house. Please call at 331-1890. Clothes Closet needs items for students in Kindergarten through high school. All items MUST meet school dress code. Socks and underwear of all sizes also is needed. However, they must be brand new and in their original packaging.  Also, we need volunteers to represent Canyon Vista on our designated work days which, typically, are the third Thursdays of each month. The work shift is from 9:30 – 11:30 am. It is really an easy two hours of work. Duties include sorting and hanging up the donated clothes, and helping patrons find what they are looking for. You also get to know and visit with the people you work with and meet new faces every time you work.

So that we may make the most of our volunteers¹ time and because of limited space, we ask that you do NOT bring the following items to the Clothes Closet. Please donate them to another venue of your choosing.


Adult clothing and career wear
Stained, worn out clothing
Infant & toddler clothing
Shoes, belts and accessories
Toys
Sleepwear/Lingerie
Backpacks and lunch boxes
Previously worn socks and underwear
Local school spirit wear, logo shirts from places of employment, local sports leagues, church camps, etc.

Texas Longhorn, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, etc. apparel is okay.
