Sock, Underwear, Hat & Gloves Drive

December 15-19, 2025

Calling all BCS Families! This December, please consider supporting our ANNUAL PTA CLOTHING CENTER DRIVE.

BCS is collecting donations of NEW socks, underwear, gloves, and winter hats - sizes 4T to adult - to benefit the PTA Clothing Center. More than 2,000 students in need across the district turn to the Clothing Center every year, and every year the BCS community steps up to ensure that the Clothing Center can provide new socks, hats, gloves, and underwear to every student who visits. They have already served 600 kids in the last two months!  

All donations are appreciated, but this year the Center reports a particular need for these items: 

  • New Boys and Men’s Knit Boxers sizes men's small, medium, and large (preferred over briefs)
  • New little boys underwear boxers 4T, 6,
  • New Teen boy socks sizes 3-9 and 6-12, ankle/low cut style
  • New Women’s bikini and hipster style underwear (variety of sizes)
  • Warm winter coats for teenagers, gently used or new
  • Big need for new boys' sweat pants and joggers, size 4T-16
  • Lots and lots of New Socks and Underwear, ranging from 4 T to adult sizes, for boys and girls.

Starting December 15th and until December 19th, collection bins (decorated by BCS students) will be located inside the front door of our school and in the cafeteria, near the doors leading out to the playground. They will be there all week. At the end of each day, students will count the items, and they will be placed on the stage! At the end of the week, the PTA will collect all the items and take them to the Clothing Center.

DON'T FORGET THE SCHOOL CHALLENGE!

We LOVE a challenge at BCS, and the PTA is challenging the BCS students to beat their generosity from past years. The PTA Clothing Center relies heavily on our donations each year. This year, our goal is for the BCS community to collectively donate at least 2,800 pairs of socks, underwear, gloves, and hats. Let's come together and help make a difference for so many kids and families in Portland!
