Kids' Kloset & Tiny Tots 

Who are we? 

Founded in 2005, Kids’ Kloset offers new and gently used clothing and personal hygiene products to low-income students, K-12th grade, in the Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls and Lakewood School Districts. This service is available to students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, school referrals, homeless, or unaccompanied youth. We also assist youth in families facing emergencies, such as fires, natural disasters or sudden relocation. Our mission is to enhance learning by boosting self-esteem through meeting children's clothing needs in a welcoming, positive environment. Kids' Kloset is a 501(c)(3) non-profit therefore your donations are tax deductible.

In 2024, Kids' Kloset opened up Tiny Tots! Tiny Tots serves Birth- 4 and provides clothing, shoes, toys, blankets,  and much needed supplies such as diapers and wipes to anyone in need.   There is often maternity wear available.

 Thank you for visiting Arlington Kids' Kloset and Tiny Tots!

Simple solutions for complicated times 

Meeting the clothing needs of all eligible children, in a friendly, pleasant, and positive atmosphere that nurtures self-esteem, and thus enhances learning.

Discretion and sensitivity are paramount in our services. By locating our services off-site from our student’s own schools, we preserve privacy and make students more comfortable when using our service. Teens may browse without their parents, and no two students from the same school are given overlapping appointments. 

We strive to create a welcoming environment, and an enjoyable “shopping” experience, just as it would be in their favorite retailer. The only difference is that all items are free of charge. We work closely with local schools and social service agencies to coordinate student needs with district and community resources. We are always engaging in community outreach activities to ensure all families in need are aware of and have access to our services. Our goal is to continually increase awareness of our services for households in the Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls and Lakewood school districts. 

Why is Arlington Kids' Kloset so important to our community? 

The effects of poor hygiene, ill-fitting or tattered clothes, or even "the wrong clothes" can be devasting for a student's self esteem. Students who are uncomfortable at school and disconnected with their peers due to their appearance can often struggle to succeed academically. By eliminating the non-academic barriers these youth face every day, we can strengthen peer relationships, create opportunities of growth and discovery, and affect positive sustained change. Arlington Kids's Kloset meets a fundamental need in the lives of low-income students, through the provision of clothing and hygiene essentials, so that they may remain focused on their continued education and academic success. 

Our goal is that every child has the opportunity to be healthy, happy, confident in their appearance, and secure in their abilities.
