Here at ACM, we accept clean, gently used uniforms. Those can be placed in the labeled blue bins located in the lobby. On the sign for donations there is a QR code and a link s.risd.org/ACMuniforms where you can request to receive free, gently used uniforms for your student(s).
There is also a bin in the lobby for Clothes Closet needs. There are items they always need as well as ones that change due to the season and current stock that are listed here: https://risdpta.
The RISD Council of PTAs Clothes Closet provides clothing for RISD students, who are referred by a school counselor or nurse, and receive a full wardrobe of clothes. Donate like-new clothing, sizes 3T to adult XXL, that is cute, current, and free of holes, stains, or much wear and tear. They also accept well-loved clothing and textiles, placed in a separate bag and clearly labeled "world wear."
Each school in RISD provides volunteers each school year to help sort the donations at the RISD Clothes Closet on Mondays from 9:30am-noon and to help "shop" for student's with clothing needs and drive them to the school where they are located on Tuesdays. We will need volunteers who represent ACM to help at the Clothes Closet.
Contact Casey Bowles at clothescloset@acmpta.org for volunteer info (and make sure you have passed the Voly background check: https://risd.voly.org/).
