Clothes Closet

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 SRE 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.

If you are interested in volunteering for this program, or if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact either the Committee Chair or a PTA Executive Board member. All contact information can be found on the Contact Us page of this website.
