The Works thrift shop opens Wednesday September 10, 2025

The Works will officially open on September 10, 2025, providing free clothing resources in the Shoreline School District. Located in the north parking lot behind the Shoreline Center, the initiative offers a selection of clean, gently used clothing and self-care items for children and teens. Families can bring their children to choose stylish clothing, enhancing their self-esteem and ensuring they have access to appropriate attire. The clothing room is easily accessible, situated next to pickleball courts and soccer fields. This effort addresses the growing need for affordable clothing options while promoting sustainability through the reuse of garments.

The Works aims to foster a sense of community support, allowing families to shop in a welcoming environment. Local families benefit directly from this initiative, which emphasizes dignity and choice in clothing selection. Such programs play a crucial role in enhancing community welfare by reducing clothing insecurity among students.
