These are challenging times for many who live in or attend school in the Brighton Central School District. If you need clothes for you or your children Brighton Your Wardrobe (BYW) can help. BYW is a partnership of Jewish Family Service (JFS), the Brighton Central School District (BCSD), and community volunteers.
How Does Brighton Your Wardrobe Work?
- YW offers free clothing to the children and families living in or attending the Brighton Central School District who are in need
- BYW has regularly scheduled hours and is also open by appointment
- BCSD students in need of clothing can contact their school counselor to arrange a visit to BYW or they can visit during normal hours of operation.
