My Project

At our high school we are striving to provide a private and non- judgmental way for students to get the items they need to be successful. We believe that every child should have access to the basic needs of life so that they can focus on their learning.

We've created a Care Closet which supplies food, personal hygiene products, clothing, and school essentials.

When students have their physiological needs met, they can relax and reduce their worries about what they may be lacking. Will you be a part of our school community and help us to provide items for our Care Closet?
