We were able to help a family who lost everything in a house fire, provide clean and dry clothing to students when theirs were wet or torn, and ensure that students participating in after-school athletics had appropriate athletic wear. In each case, your donation met a real and immediate need, and it made our students feel cared for and supported.\r\n\r\nWord about our clothes closet has continued to spread.
