Who is Locker #505?
Locker #505 Student Clothing Bank was founded in 2014 and is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that has established a student-focused facility where children can try on and choose outfits that they feel good about wearing. Their mission is to supply appropriate school clothing to children so that they can concentrate on their school work, not their clothing. This also helps keep children, who might not go to class because of their clothes, stay in school. To learn more about the work of Locker #505 and how to get more involved, click here.
