Lamar CISD's Common Threads is seeking volunteers for its annual back-to-school clothing-distribution event.
It's a great opportunity for students to earn service hours. If you would like to help out, please visit this link to sign up.
Volunteers are needed from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. You must be 12 years old or accompanied by a parent.
Common Threads accepts donations of clothing for children ages 4-18. This can be either uniform or non-uniform clothing as well as backpacks, or school supplies. Everything must be gently worn, please! We also take purses, belts, cosmetic bags, and used books as well. We take only new socks and underwear though. Even though our hours vary, please feel free to drop off your donations at our outdoor bin located in the parking lot of Common Threads (710 Houston Street, Richmond, Texas 77406).
Please contact Jill Duban at 832-223-0335 or 832-223-0342 or email at [email protected] for more information. Service/Community hours will be given for those eligible.
ELIGIBILITY
Lamar CISD families that find themselves in difficult situations may be eligible for assistance from Common Threads. Questions 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.
