The School Uniform Bank has been our mission since 2001, shortly after the School District of Lancaster began requiring all students in grades K-8 to wear uniforms to school.

 

Since its beginning, the School Uniform Bank has served approximately 1,800 students each year, providing, on average, two sets of uniforms for each child.

 

 

The uniform guidelines are:

 

Tops: White, navy or light blue, collared button-front shirts or blouses, turtlenecks, collared polo shirts.

 

Bottoms: Navy or tan – for girls, slacks, cargo-style pants, skirts, skorts, shorts, capris or jumpers; for boys – slacks, cargo pants or shorts.

 

Overclothing: White, navy or light blue, cardigans, V-neck, crewneck and turtleneck sweaters or sweater vests over collared shirts or blouses.

 

Pearl Street gratefully accepts donations of new and gently used items of clothes under the above guidelines, as well as cash contributions, which we use to buy new uniforms.
