About Us
The purpose of the Clothing Center is to provide school appropriate clothing for students enrolled in our Knox County Public Schools who have a financial need and have been declared eligible by their school. We currently serve over 2,000 students and distribute over 60,000 articles of clothing each year.
If a student has a need, families should reach out to their student's school for support.
How to Help
Donate your gently used clothing of all sizes. Monetary donations, also of all sizes, are always accepted. Business partnerships are also welcomed and appreciated...in-kind and monetary support help us to increase the number of children we can help each year!

Partners and Sponsors
The Picky Chick Consignment
Picky Chick has graciously "reached out" to our most needy children. The Clothing Center is the recipient of the clothes that are not sold during the consignment sale. The donation of these slightly used clothes will allow the Clothing Center to stretch the existing funds to serve many more needy children.
Home Depot
The Home Depot #728 generously supports the efforts of the Clothing Center by donating products necessary for the day-to-day functioning of the facility. This in turn ensures that all of our funding goes directly to providing clothing for the children.
United Way
United Way of Greater Knoxville lists the Knox County Clothing Center PTA as a Partner and graciously supports our efforts to clothe Knox County students who are in need of our assistance.
Prestige Cleaners
Prestige Cleaners continues to offer in-kind services to the Clothing Center, helping us to ensure that all donated clothing is clean and ready for distribution to Knox County students in our program.

Donate - You can help!
Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are encouraged to donate at any time - items are continually needed. Any group may conduct their own clothing drive at their own designated time.
Best Method for Delivery of Clothing
We accept new and gently used clean clothing in any size and from anyone. We cannot accept used socks or underwear.
Please deliver in bags no larger than 13-gallon kitchen bags. The Clothing Center is limited on space with no storage for boxes, and larger bags are too heavy to move around when sorting. Also, please arrive at or before 3:30 pm to allow time for the intake of your donation and donor information. We appreciate your help in facilitating the donation process!
