You may not be aware that School Clothing Closets have been sweeping across the United States in the past several years, and I wanted to have one here in our Yerington schools for our kiddos. There are many reasons why a student may need items at any given moment but what is consistent is the need. I wanted to create a place for the students that could meet their basic needs to be able to stay focused in school. I am in need of your help with products and goods to keep the clothing closet going. If you or your organization is able to help in any of the following, here is a list of urgent needs:

• clothing (boys and girls, all sizes) highest need is girls leggings and sweat bottoms for boys
• boys and girls underwear and socks
• shoes
• teen bras
• hygiene items: travel size shampoos, conditioners, body wash, disposable razors, deodorant, toothbrushes, chapstick, hairbrushes, combes, little zippered bags to be able to contain hygiene items, etc.
• pant hangers
• Donations of any kind are always accepted (NEW AND GENTLY USED PLEASE) soiled, ripped or torn clothing is not useful
• PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO DONATING, DO NOT LEAVE ITEMS AT MY DOOR UNLESS WE HAVE DISCUSSED THE DONATION

Please stop by the Open House anytime between 1-3pm on 12/16/21, as I look forward to meeting you. Appetizers will be served.

Thanks,
