Wilder's Giving Closet

Help me give my students essential items to feel supported while at school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Irving's classroom raised $304

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I have requested will be a start to the Giving Closet at our school. This will be my second year working as the family advocate. I have grown to love my students. With talking to many students, in different grade levels, different background, I have learned that sometimes they are missing school due to the lack of basic essentials.

The purpose of the Giving Closet is for students and families to have the opportunity to have basic essential items, if they need it.

Items so basic can make a major difference in a family's life.

Ms. Irving L Douglas Wilder Middle School Grades 6-8
