My Project

Some of our students need to have access to deodorant and lotion. They are in need underwear and socks. There is also a need for students to be able to take care of personal needs such as cleaning hands and face. We would be grateful for help to build a care closet to meet the needs of our students. All students deserve to start the day clean and refreshed. My students are smart, kind, and loving. They are eager to learn and love school.

A care closet will help students keep their dignity and respect.

My goal is for students to feel safe, loved, and respected.
