About Catie’s Closet

Catie’s Closet is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides clothes, toiletries, and other basic essentials to students living in poverty right within their schools. We set up free stores in schools, giving children direct access to everything they need to attend class confidently. 

In 2009, we learned just how much students in our hometown were struggling to attend school because they lacked clothing and basic necessities. In 2010, we took action and opened our first closet to give local students living in poverty a fighting chance. Today, we operate closets in 100 schools and serve more than 70,000 students daily. 

Out of every dollar we raise, $0.95 goes directly to programming.

Together, we are making a difference.
