The items from this project are being used to stock our closet in the counseling office for students who express a need for hygiene products. This way students are able to come into the Counseling Office and shop our closet for what they need and they are able to do it in private if they want to. We also have a shelf in the hallway outside of our office that is stocked with these items as well. This gives students access to items without having to come in and directly ask for them if they don't feel comfortable. \r\n\r\nThis project has given us the opportunity provide kids with basic needs through two avenues, giving them the ability to come into the office and speak with us or to remain anonymous and take what they need when they need.
