Life Skills Care Closet

Help me give my students a care closet they can visit to get their basic needs met.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Obuchowski's classroom raised $548

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would love to provide my students with a CARE CLOSET to help me ensure that they have their most basic needs met. When they have their basic needs met they can focus on school work easier.

Students do not choose their living situation and feel embarrassed or left out if they don't have the things they need to meet their basic needs.

Basic personal care items such as hair care, dental care, first aid, and personal hygiene items will be used by my special education students in my class as well as other students in our school.
