2024 Care Closet Restock

Help me give my students deodorant and other hygiene and snack items to take care of basic needs.

My Project

As a teacher at a Title I school, I keep a care closet stocked with water, chapstick, lotions, and deodorant. Snacks and water help to keep students hydrated and focused. Our care closet allows students to have a safety net at school to not have to worry about hygiene and hunger.

Students need their basic needs met in order to be successful in the class.

These items will help them take care of basic needs so I can take care of their academic needs. Your investment means a lot to me and my students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
