We are trying to keep costs down but decent shirts that last are not cheap. Our shirts are of a heavier material that doesn’t rip and treated with stain release so they wash better. Add the embroidery and tznius button and cost goes up. We sell our shirts at our school at our cost so no expensive store that adds $. We changed our manufacturer this year and saved a few dollars. Our parents appreciate our diligence in providing a shirt that looks nice and later so well it can be passed on.

What a wonderful way to care for our community. The financial burdens at the start of the new year is huge, what you do is a tremendous Chesed and from the article it seems in the most pleasant and dignified manner. May you be blessed

Very nice... However..

There seems to be a underlying issue…the fact that uniforms are so cost prohibitive that we need to have the gemach is concerning…
Why can’t we have more simple uniforms that would allow parents to be able to purchase them on the open market instead of personalized items that are expensive?

Rochel lustig hosts this gemach in her personal basement and gives her days and nights for all the appointments. Amazing.

Fantastic service to the community
