Our Falcon Outlet is Always Open. It is a food pantry, and has winter coats, hats, mittens, boots, shoes, etc. available to all AMS students.

If you are looking for a place to get rid of lightly warn school age appropriate clothing think of us.

This white elephant store is primarily for students who usually cannot shop for the holidays. It allows students to come and choose items to "buy" and wrap to give to their families this holiday season.

PLEASE consider searching your home for ANY gently used or new items you do not need or want and bring them to AMS by December 15th.

ANY and ALL items are welcome! You'd be surprised what the students choose!

Thank you!!
