SUPPORTING: Locker #505 student clothing bank is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that has established a student-focused facility where children in need can try on and choose outfits that they feel good about wearing. Having appropriate school clothing allows children to concentrate on their school work, not their clothing. It also helps keep children, who might not go to class because of their clothes, stay in school.
