The Wayne Township Trustee's Office offers vouchers to help families residing in the township purchase clothes and shoes for school-aged children (pre-K to 12th grade).

To qualify, your family must live within the boundaries of Wayne Township, be at or below 138% of the federal poverty level, and provide all documents required by the State of Indiana (see below). The Wayne Township Trustee's Office takes applications for the school clothing assistance program every day of the week, except Wednesday. We urge those applying to visit our office between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. to ensure you can meet with a caseworker on the same day. Applicants interested in applying for assistance who cannot come to the office during normal business hours may drop off their applications and materials, and a Wayne Township caseworker will contact them within 3 business days.

Regardless of whether your student attends MSD Wayne Schools, IPS, Speedway, or a private or charter school, if you live within the borders of Wayne Township and need help, we encourage you to apply.
