ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – The Abilene Independent School District (AISD) is in need of coats and clothes for students.

Darrin Cox, with the Homeless Liaison for AISD, said that the recent cold has depleted their resources, and while many have donated, they still need some essentials. Those essentials include underwear, socks, heavy coats for winter, jackets, and clothes of all sizes.

While he predicts another cold spell to come through, they are also preparing for springtime donations. So far, AISD has provided assistance to more than 7,500 students, but the demand remains high, with approximately 1,200 students experiencing homelessness.

Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 5340 Hartford Street in the former Reagan Elementary School. For any inquiries, please contact Darrin Cox at (325) 677-144, extension 8641.
