Fall Cleaning?

Please drop off all of our old clothes and textile items to the JMWT textile bins and help raise funds for our school! Spread the word!

Our bins have brought in over $1,000 for just being there!

The bins are located at the front entrance of the school near Cubeta Field for convenient drop off.

We accept all sorts of used textiles (clothes, sheets, shoes, bags, stuffed animals, curtains, drapes and throw pillows). Our bins prevent discarded items becoming part of landfills and gives them a second life. You can view more info here
