Weaving
Common Threads of sharing and caring throughout the community
COMMON THREADS
Common Threads, a Lamar CISD clothing-recycling program, is committed
to providing families with clothing for their school-aged children. This
program is aimed at building confidence and success in students by providing
them with the basic necessities to attend school.
ELIGIBILITY
LCISD families that find themselves in difficult situations may be eligible
for assistance from Common Threads. Inquires about participation in the
program should be directed to the school nurse. Community members may
also provide information about families needing assistance by contacting
the student's school nurse. All referrals are confidential.
After the referral is approved parents and students may choose to select
school clothes at Common Threads or to have a clothing request filled
and sent to the campus. Each student will be provided with new or gently
used sets of clothes, socks, undergarments, shoes, toiletry items and
backpacks based on availability.
GETTING
INVOLVED
Parents, student organizations and community members are all welcome to
volunteer at Common Threads. Volunteers can help at the campus level by
assisting the school nurse with clothing drives and organizing the donations.
They can also volunteer at Common Threads and assist with washing, folding,
and sorting clothes; filling orders and assisting parents and students
with clothing selections.
