The Leander ISD Council of PTAs Clothes Closet is owned and operated by the Leander ISD Council of PTAs. The purpose of the Clothes Closet is to provide gently used school clothing and brand-new underwear and socks to our students residing within our school district. We have clothing for grades pre-K through the SELF 18+ Program (sizes 3T-4X for all genders). The only qualification for families to shop at the Clothes Closet is that their students reside within the Leander ISD boundaries.
If you have any questions, contact us at clothescloset@lisdptacouncil.com.
Our program has no income or voucher requirements.

These items do not have to be selected in one shopping visit — families may shop within the same semester until all items have been chosen. All clothing items selected are FREE. All students residing within LISD boundaries can shop with us.

Current Donation Needs
Please review our donation guidelines. We accept gently used clothing (in current fashion, meeting the school dress code), brand-new socks, and brand-new underwear.
We are always in need of brand-new socks and underwear. You can shop from our wish lists which will deliver to the correct address. As we are unable to accept deliveries at either of our portable buildings, packages must be sent to the following address
Leander ISD Administration Building
Attn: LISD PTA Clothes Closet
204 W. South Street
Leander, Texas 78641
We recycle clothing items that we are not able to use to a local veteran-owned thread recycling organization. The money earned through this recycling organization helps to fund our program.
**We also accept donation support through employer-sponsored volunteer hours through Benevity. Please email us if you would like to donate your volunteer hours to support our program.
How to Donate
Donations Bins are found at our two stores. The bin at the north location is blue and the bin at our south is green. You are also welcome to drop off donations when the store is open, handing your bags or boxes to a volunteer. Donation receipts are available upon request.
If you have a large donation or need help, please contact our Clothes Closet Council Chair.
