Foundation Highlight: Comet Care Closet
How It Started
When district officials from Coventry Local Schools sat down with us and identified that a Care Closet would help students in need at the high school, we got to work! First, we found a space, built it out, and then provided racks, bins, cubbies, hangers, and other essential items necessary for a workable boutique experience. Friends of the Foundation provided the sweat equity and other identified expenses.
Powerful Community Response
When the Comet Care Closet opened, the response was awe-inspiring and powerful. This resource will be easily accessible and remove barriers to district students and their families who present a need or are in crisis .
Providing More Than Essential Items
In addition to new clothes, the TST Foundation stocks the Comet Care Closets with personal care product hygiene kits which include shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, bar soap, body wash, deodorant and hand soap. These items empower students to take ownership of their needs. The intended result is kids coming to school happy, healthy and ready to learn!
