Student Clothing and Uniforms

Students can contact school personnel to receive vouchers for school clothes and shoes.

Students, parents, or families can contact their school and speak to a counselor, nurse, health assistant, social worker, community liaison, or teacher.

Staff will place a referral with the APS Community Clothing Bank. The referral will be filled at the Clothing Bank Fulfillment Center by the APS Transition Services. Students will receive their items in a package delivered to their school.

Students may be eligible to receive the following items:

• One package of new socks
• One package of new underwear
• A voucher for 3 outfits they can pick out at one of the Goodwill store locations in Albuquerque
• A voucher for shoes from any Payless Shoe store
• A hoodie or light jacket
