How does my child shop at Dressed for School?

We serve Porter County students whose families who are experiencing financial insecurity or are in-crisis


If your child is enrolled in K-5th grade, transportation may be provided from your child's school.  Please check with your school or social worker. If transportation is provided, your child will arrive to the store via a school bus, much like a field trip. Once there they will be assisted by a volunteer to make sure they choose an appropriate, well fitting wardrobe.


If you have a child/children enrolled in K - 5th grade and wish to shop with them, please click below to schedule a 30-minute shopping appointment. Appointments are posted during sping and fall distribution only.  Students MUST be present at the shopping appointment. Proof of Porter County residency may be needed at appointment. When making an appointment, please make sure to include each child’s name, grade, and elementary school.


If you have a student enrolled in a Porter County middle school and need help with their clothing needs, please contact your school’s social worker to set up an appointment with us.


Families in-crisis are referred to us from trusted community partners year round.
