Care Cabinet

Help me give my students a safe place to go to get whatever they need. This could be anything from a pump of lotion to a meal because they don’t have food to go to.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Olsen's classroom raised $727

My Project

Operation Care Cabinet is meant for students who need a little extra love. Sometimes students just need to be given the tools to be successful. When your at home needs are not being met it is hard for you to not only develop emotionally and be able to regulate your emotions, but also it makes you focus more on those needs and not academics. These items will aid my students in their success by helping them focus on their academics and mental health. Each child deserves to know that they will be taken care of and having these items available gives them a safe place to learn just that. Whether they need a snack, a hair bow to boost confidence, or a pair of socks, I want them to know that they have a place to come to when they feel like they have nowhere else to go.
