WHO ARE WE?
Locker #505: Student’s Clothing Bank is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides appropriate school clothing to Kindergarten through 12th grade students in Bernalillo County who are in need.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We are a student-centered facility that provides comfortable and welcoming surroundings where children can try on and choose outfits they feel good about wearing.
We have caring and knowledgeable employees and volunteers that assist the children in choosing outfits that fit well and look good.
Each student receives a minimum of two outfits, new socks, and new underwear. If needed and available, each student also receives a pair of shoes and a jacket.
HOW CAN MY CHILD VISIT LOCKER #505?
A student who needs clothing is referred by the school principal, counselor, nurse, or teacher, who completes a Locker #505 referral form for the student. A responsible adult or family member brings the student to the Locker #505 facility with their referral form to choose their clothing.
