The purpose of the uniform exchange program is to recycle gently used uniforms within our school.

Here is a brief overview of how the program works:

• All gently used uniforms are turned into the school and are picked up by the used uniform coordinator.
• The used uniform coordinator will inspect the pieces and put them into the inventory.
• The coordinator will fill all requests and send the pieces to the school for pickup.
• Payment should be sent to the school. You can pay by cash or check (check made out to Archbishop Neale School). If you are doing the one-for-one exchange, then please send in the article of clothing.
• All gently used uniforms that are in good, clean condition and meet the school’s dress code guidelines will be accepted. Clothing that contains rips, tears, stains, or is not within the school’s dress code guidelines will not be accepted.

This is a one-for-one exchange, so you must exchange the same item of clothing that you are getting from the program. You can also purchase items from the exchange.

To request a piece of clothing from the exchange, please contact the school.
