Students First
Program

We work with and through the Hardin Independent School District to provide new clothing and toiletries to underprivileged students. All at no cost to the student or their family. The program is not limited to clothing and toiletries only. Other items will be considered on an 'as needed' basis. Students who are identified for the program will be vetted and approved. Once vetted and approved, a registration form must be completed with parental consent. The program starts over at the beginning of each school year.
