Donate a School Uniform

If you have extra blue or khaki pants, shorts, skorts, jumpers and blue or white blouses and shirts, consider donating them to one of the many areas along the southern gulf coast. Here is one such example. One child in Jackson, Mississippi, managed to salvage two goldfish. Most kids didn’t even save an extra pair of clothes, let alone a school uniform.

JPS’ Partners in Education office is one organization to consider donating to. They are coordinating the collection of book bags, school supplies, and uniforms. Many schools have a used uniform closet available for their students. If you know of such a school, consider soliciting them for a uniform donation. Individuals can also donate uniforms or money to buy uniforms by calling Partner’s in Education at (601) 960-8905. Keep in mind that children in need will require three to five sets.
