What started out as an effort to provide school uniforms has expanded into a closet with new and name-brand items for adults and kids that is open to even working families.
Duncanville native Shawana Carter founded Carter’s House about nine years ago. What began as a way to provide school uniforms for teenagers, quickly grew into a clothing bank for the whole family. The organization is based in South Dallas, but serves clients all across the area, and starting in January, will expand to Irving as well.Carter herself remembers how she felt when she was not able to provide uniforms for her three children about ten years ago.
She said that by the time her clients run out of clothing, they are also behind on rent or don’t have anything to eat. Carter makes sure to address those needs as well.
Thank you for putting up these organizations in the Dallas areas. When I move there in the future, I am looking for charities & organizations I can help volunteer at.
