About us | Schools equipped with a Catie’s Closet give students living in poverty the ability to discreetly pick and choose the clothing and basic necessities they need, and are proud to wear. Lack of access to basic necessities is one of the top reasons for absenteeism. The “Closet” is restocked with donated clothing, climate and age-appropriate, on a regular basis. By meeting students’ needs, Catie’s Closet boosts self esteem and motivates students to attend school and focus on their education. |
