relocation task forceFor more than 20 years, The WORKS clothing store (a Shoreline PTA Council community resource) has provided free, high quality, gently used and new children’s and teen clothing and hygiene products. Every year, The WORKS serves more than 1,000 Shoreline School District students with basic needs to support success in school.
Since 2007, The WORKS has been housed in the three portables on the west side of North City Elementary. We recently learned that the portables will be removed this summer when the North City campus is used as a transitional school site. With the support of the District, The WORKS is actively looking for a new home beginning this summer. To begin the project, PTA Council is creating a Community Task Force to ensure the long-term sustainability of The WORKS. Can you help? We are just beginning the relocation plans and are actively recruiting community volunteers with a variety of skill sets, such as retail, space planning, legal, marketing, and fundraising. There is an organizational meeting set for Thursday, March 8th at 7pm in the PTA Council Office inside the Shoreline Center (Richmond Room, 18560 1st Ave NE). Fill out the RSVP form here to learn more. Hours & location |
The WORKS is open to Shoreline School District families Wednesday evenings during the school year from 6:30-8:00 PM. Identification is required and can be a Washington State Drivers License or ID or Shoreline School ID. The WORKS clothing room is located in the middle portable at North City Elementary, 810 NE 190th Street, Shoreline.
