Opening a Door to a Brighter Future

Through free access to essential basic necessities, Catie’s Closet lays the foundation on which students in crisis can build a successful future.

Students who utilize Catie’s Closet’s services endure numerous challenges, including poverty, homelessness, foster care and refugee transitions, mental and emotional health struggles, and isolation.

Each of these not only leads to disengagement from school, but often has a negative influence on their self-esteem and overall well-being.

With Catie’s Closet…

We can’t change students’ homes, take away their past traumas, diminish their fears or replant their family trees, but we can do what we’ve done for the past 13 years and meet their most basic and immediate physical needs to help them feel good about themselves, engage in learning, and make a positive difference in the world around them.

Secure your tickets for this unforgettable event.

Together, we will raise $350,000 for 150,000 children living in poverty across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As we experience an unprecedented demand for our services, this event is critical to our mission of providing students in need with life-changing access to clothing and basic necessities.

Help Replenish our SOS Urgent Response Inventory

Our SOS Urgent Response Program is now depleted due to the unprecedented influx of child poverty, homelessness, and newcomers to the community. There are currently more than 1,000 children on the SOS Urgent Response Program Waitlist who are awaiting critical essentials to move forward. Consider a financial donation today to support children who rely on this program.
