Project Care Closet: Nourishing Minds, Empowering Futures

Help me give my students a Care Closet filled with essential food and hygiene products, ensuring they have access to the basic necessities they need for a healthy and successful school experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aaronson's classroom raised $537

My Project

I love the enthusiasm my students bring to class every day. The Care Closet is more than just a stash of essentials; it's about addressing their basic needs. Stocked with hearty snacks (Pringles, Goldfish, Mott's) and hygiene goodies (shampoo, soap, deodorant, socks, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene, lotion) it ensures no student goes hungry or feels overlooked.

Those nutritious bites keep minds sharp, while the hygiene items add an extra boost of confidence.

Your support not only fills our shelves but also creates a positive and supportive atmosphere for learning, allowing each student to thrive both personally and academically. Every contribution helps build a stronger, more caring community within our classroom.
