WHAT IS THE WORKS?
|
The WORKS clothing room provides high quality, clean, gently used children’s and teen clothing to Shoreline School District families. Shoreline families experiencing economic hardship can bring their children to “shop” for gently used, stylish clothing.
The WORKS is also part of the Back to School Consortium and supports the annual Back to School (BTS) event to ensure students receive new socks, underwear, and hygiene products for a great start to the new school year. |
|
HOURS
The WORKS is normally open on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00pm when school is in session. See information above about COVID-related protocols. If you cannot make it to The WORKS during our open hours, you can contact Andrea Petrusky at theworks@shorelinepta.org or leave a message on The WORKS information line at (206) 393-4916 to arrange an appointment time. The WORKS does not operate during school vacations or the summer break.
