Facts & Info

LOCATION: The Canyon Closet is currently looking for a new home. We will let you know when a new location is selected and operational.

PURPOSE: Our sole purpose is to furnish age-appropriate clothing that fits children that come to us needing these services. By caring for the basic needs of our youth and allowing them to dress as their peers, we are encouraging positive self-esteem, academic success and regular class attendance. We share the Grand Canyon PTA's purpose to give every child a chance.

QUALIFYING: All Grand Canyon Public School children and their families that do not have access to age-appropriate clothing are eligible to receive clothing.

CLOTHING: We accept donations of gently-used clothing from school-run clothing drives, school lost and found items, and concerned community members. Donations of money from our PTA, individuals, and caring businesses provide our children with new clothing items.

STAFF: The Canyon Closet is a committee of the Grand Canyon School PTA. It shares the same non-profit status and is staffed by volunteers from within the district.


What Types of Clothing Donations Are We Looking For? Coats, Jeans, Pants, Leggings, Warm Hats, Gloves, In-style Shirts & Sweaters, Dresses and Skirts, Shorts for gym class & play, Sleepwear, Belts, Backpacks and Lunchboxes.

What Types of Clothing Donations Are We NOT Looking For? Stained or dirty clothing, Clothing Needing Repair, Well-worn or Out-of-Fashion Clothing

What Do Financial Contributions Purchase? All financial contributions purchase new jeans, underwear and socks that are given directly to each child.

Volunteers are always welcome and appreciated. Please email info@grandcanyonschoolpta.org for more information on volunteer opportunities.
