THE KNIGHTS’ CLOSET
The Knights’ Closet is a resource available to all members of the NAMS and NAPS community. Essentially it is NAMS’ very own thrift shop. It is a store-like space where students can go to receive new and gently used clothing, jackets and shoes as well as new health and hygiene products at no cost. Open to anyone with a need, it is accessed discreetly, respecting the dignity and privacy of those who visit it. Inside, students and families can find racks of donated attire in a variety of styles and sizes.The Knights’ Closet can help meet the basic needs of our students while also promoting security and self-esteem without the weight of financial burden.
To learn more about The Knights’ Closet and how to access it or donate to it, please contact the NAMS Health Office at 978-557-7902.
