Baron Outfitters
Introducing Baron Outfitters: Our New Free Needs-Based Closet!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Baron Outfitters, a brand-new FREE needs-based closet located in our High School! This initiative is designed to support all students in our district, from pre-K through 12th grade, ensuring that every child has access to the essential items they need to succeed both academically and socially.
What is Baron Outfitters?
Baron Outfitters is a community-driven resource aimed at providing gently used and some new clothing, shoes, accessories, basic toiletries, school supplies, and much more. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where families can find the resources they need without any stigma or financial burden.
How It Works
The closet will operate entirely on donations from our generous community. We encourage anyone who has items they no longer need—such as clothing in good condition, unused school supplies, or toiletries—to consider donating to this cause. Every contribution helps us ensure that every student feels confident and prepared.
Who Can Access Baron Outfitters?
Baron Outfitters is open to all families in need within our district. To access the closet, families simply need to sign up by visiting https://secure.smore.com/n/ebq7f#bujevuzt3s. This ensures we can manage our resources effectively while respecting the privacy of those who utilize the service.
