Students across Texas are headed back to school, and for many in Galveston ISD, that means buying new uniforms before next week.
On Wednesday, the gym at San Jacinto Elementary School acted as a uniform clearing house.
Galveston ISD requires their students to wear uniforms, which can be expensive when you're shopping for more than one child.
Sharhonda Love has three boys. She and her mother-in-law, Stella Winn, paid a visit to the school gym to apply for free uniforms.
"It's a big weight off because we were trying to figure out how we're going to do all that with the three boys," said Winn.
Each child is given two uniforms along with school supplies according to their grade.
"All children want to fit in on the first day of school, make sure they have the proper school supplies, and also properly dressed in the uniform," said Kelley Romar, Galveston ISD's Homeless Liaison.
Moody Methodist, the Kemper Foundation and Galveston ISD donated 6,000 uniforms to help families still reeling from Hurricane Ike.
"With the storm a lot of peopleÂ…have been displaced and out of a jobs. So, it's really hard, it's hard for everybody," said Winn.
For Nakisha Ross, buying uniforms for her sons and daughter is one less thing she'll have to think about.
"This is a big help for us getting kids uniforms for school and school supplies, and I think it's wonderful," said Ross.
Come Monday morning, all she'll have to worry about is getting her children off to school on time.
