 The
Clothes Closet is a joint project of RISD and
the Council of PTAs. The district provides the space and
the Council of PTAs provides volunteers and clothing.
The purpose of the Clothes Closet is to help RISD
students in need by providing five days worth of gently
worn, in-style, school appropriate clothing and
toiletries for their use. Students from Pre-K to high
school are seen by appointment following a referral by
their school counselors.
This service depends on the community to provide volunteers, clothing, shoes and
toiletries. Monetary contributions (made out to
the RISD Council of PTAs) are used to purchase new
underwear, shoes and socks, and fill the gaps as needed
for jeans, tops and jackets. Donations can be made by
contacting the NHE Clothes Closet Representative or
dropped off at the Clothes Closet on Mondays from 9:30 to
11am. The Clothes Closet is located one block
north of
Arapaho, between Bowser and International at:
970 Security Row
Richardson, TX 75081
Immediate Needs: Coats and shoes
