Every student deserves to feel confident on graduation day, regardless of what's in their closet at home.

Friends of José de Diego is building a free loaner clothing library for 8th grade graduates at José de Diego Community Academy in Humboldt Park. Students will be able to borrow dress shirts, pants, ties, dresses, and blouses, in a range of sizes, at no cost, return them after the ceremony, and pass that opportunity on to the next class.

Your donation goes directly toward:

Dress shirts, pants, and ties for boys
Dresses and blouses for girls
Dress shoes in core sizes
Garment bags and storage to keep everything ready year after year

Once the closet exists, it serves students every graduation season going forward.

Goal: $1,000
