Care Cabinet Necessities

Help me give my students basic hygiene items they may not have at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wiltse's classroom raised $411

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our library has a Care Cabinet with basic supplies for students to take or use. We have students in temporary living situations and students without resources at home. This provides an easy-access place for them to find period products, hair products, deodorant, and soap. We've had our Care Cabinet for over a year now and I am amazed at how often it is used.

We are now out of many supplies and students come back daily to check for restocking.

In particular, deodorant, lip balm, and lint rollers are needed. This project would replenish our Care Cabinet with our highest-need products. I've ordered a lot to get us through the entire spring. These products allow all students to feel healthy and confident. It's no small thing.
