PTA Swap Shop offers thrifty wardrobe solutions

Date:

Look no further than the Pearland Council of PTAs’ Swap Shop/Community Closet to refresh your child’s wardrobe without denting the budget. The Pearland Council of PTAs’ Swap Shop/Community Closet is set to reopen on Aug. 3.

Through the Swap Shop, Pearland Independent School District parents may donate or exchange gently used clothes for their children to wear to school.

The shop helps offset the cost of school clothes by allowing parents to trade children’s outgrown school clothes for something fresh.

Thanks to a voucher program, the shop also gives away clothes to district families in need.
