Thrift Store Launched From Beacon High School Students For Gender Equality Club - Here's How To Donate
/
Editor’s Note: This announcement has been written by the BHS Students Gender Equality Club, and retained their voice.
Beacon High School Students for Gender Equality Club is beginning a school-wide thrift store that is 100% run by donations of pre-loved clothes, non-perishable food items, and toiletries, to give directly to our students from the Beacon community. It is open for students, teachers and staff on Thursdays and Fridays in the morning before Homeroom, and after school from 2:15-3:45pm (please note these hours may change by the time you read this article, so please check with their Instagram).
How To Donate Clothes, Food and Toiletries
All clothing donations must be pre-approved to ensure that each item is suitable for wear. This can be done by sending a simple email with photos attached of each item, including any possible signs of wear and tear, to bhs.thrifts@gmail.com
Please understand that every item may not be selected.
Students and faculty members can bring their pre-approved clothing items, non-perishable food, and toiletries to boxes outside of the school store located in the lobby.
Community members without a direct relation to BHS can send an email to bhs.thrifts@gmail.com to have a representative from S4GE look through items. Once items are approved, they can be brought to BHS and left with Security.
Currently, we are looking for prom attire (dresses, suits, dress shirts, dress shoes, heels and accessories). Our hunt for prom attire will end April 8th. We already have a prom dress surplus so please consider donating other prom attire. Dresses will be considered, but possibly not selected.
We are going to continue to take donations of other school appropriate clothes, non-perishable food and toiletries until June 1st.
Please understand this is a completely self-sustaining student run store, meaning, there is no compensation besides the joy of the good deed :)
