Maddie’s Closet made its inaugural visit to West High School on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017.  Lots of people were asking, “what’s the red bus in the parking lot for?”

Maddie’s Closet was started by a local Rock Island student and her mom in their home. Through community involvement, donations, and volunteers the program now has a school bus which is actually a travelling boutique that visits area schools.  Students can “shop” and take home a few items, an accessory, and some hygiene items.

Today 11 students shopped Maddie’s Closet. Another visit is planned for early in 2018.
