Burlington Area School District and Waller Elementary is committed to helping children and families in whatever way we can. Through the generosity of others, we have a small collection of new and gently used children’s winter jackets (sizes 4T-14), snow pants, gloves, hats, boots, sweatshirts, and tennis shoes.
If you are facing financial difficulties and need assistance acquiring these items for you student(s), please complete this google form (one google form per student) and we will see if we can help. We will try our best to accommodate your request and need, but we do have some limited sizes and items available.
If we are unable to find the winter items you need, Riverwood Community Church, located at 6919 McHenry Street, Burlington also has a clothing ministry available to ALL families in the community called Solomon's Closet, where they have FREE gently used winter gear AND clothing items (based on availability) for infants through adults.
