Care Closet Necessities to Shine

Funded Feb 14, 2025

Thanks to your generous support, our Care Closet has continued to be a safe haven and reliable resource for students in need. The supplies you helped provide—snacks, hygiene products, feminine care items, and more—are making an incredible difference in the daily lives of our students from kindergarten through 5th grade.

One moment that truly stood out happened just last week: a student quietly came to the Care Closet before class, picked up a toothbrush and some breakfast snacks, and whispered, "Now I can smile today." That small moment held so much weight—your donation helped make that possible.

When students first saw the newly stocked shelves, their eyes lit up. There was a sense of relief and joy knowing that these items—things many of us take for granted—were available to them without judgment or barriers. Some even told me it felt like "someone was thinking about them and cared."

Because of you, our students come to class feeling more confident and better prepared to learn. They're more engaged, focused, and proud of themselves. Our next steps include expanding the closet to include winter accessories and more culturally inclusive hygiene items, so every student feels seen and supported.

Your kindness is helping to restore dignity, improve attendance, and boost student morale. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.”

With gratitude,
