Student-identified needs: hygiene supplies that support learning outcomes

Story

Personal hygiene and self-care play a meaningful role in a student’s ability to engage, connect, and perform at school. Research consistently shows that when students feel well and presentable, their confidence, attendance, and academic participation all improve.

Our Care Closet provides a private, stigma-free way for students to access hygiene essentials when they need them most. Every item in this submission was requested by students in our program — making this a direct, student-driven response to a demonstrated need.

Your support will stock our Care Closet with the specific supplies our students have asked for, ensuring that no young person has to choose between their basic needs and their education.
