My Project

Our school is comprised of a diverse population, many of whome are from lower income households. We provide 2 closets in our building that any student can access, without question, when they find themselves in need of essential items. Some of the items we find students need the most are socks, underwear, and hygiene products. We also stock some basic clothing items as we know there are times that families cannot make it to the laundromat! Every little bit helps to ease their worry when students find themselves in need of these items.
