Make a Lasting Impact
We have a long waiting list of new schools requesting the “Catie’s Closet Program”. The good news is that once a school closet is installed, it remains in place for the life of the school. This means the closet will serve thousands of students year after year. Not only is this a great investment for our students but can also be a lasting legacy for you. Each company, organization or individual who sponsors a new school will feature a plaque in the closet showcasing your generosity.
Once the closet is installed, we need to sustain it. Our “Adopt A School” program accomplishes the job. By adopting a school, you ensure the school receives all the new supplies needed to round out community donations for an entire year.
The investment you make in a new closet, funds the building and construction costs including paint, prep, shelving, hangers as well as the initial inventory. Your annual adoption of a closet covers the cost of purchasing new full size toiletries, undergarments, shoes and coats that our closets are regularly stocked with, as well as additional product we do might not receive in donations.
| Investment | Impact |
|---|---|
| $40,000 | Establishes a new Closet in a new school. |
| $25,000 | Adopts a School for a full year. |
| $5,000 | Provides uniforms in one school for one year. |
Turn your cash into confidence for underprivileged youth in your community
Catie’s Closet opens free stores in schools where 50% or more of the students are living below the poverty line. Children PreK – 12 are given access to the closet by a trusted school administrator. They shop for clothes, toiletries, underwear, socks, shoes and seasonal outwear. Our goal, is to empower children to come to school and feel confident doing so. so that they are better able to focus on their education, achieve their dreams and break the cycle of poverty.
