The Caring Closet is a donation-based organization that helps students who are in need. The Caring Closet offers clothing for all seasons. Students who need any of these items are directed to the Caring Closet, where they can enjoy a shopping experience without any expense. The Caring Cupboard provides food to students who are in desperate need. This is often one of the only sources of food that students have over the weekend. The toiletries program, feminine hygiene, laundry service or the Laundry Basket, is the third branch of the program  This student-run program is designed to help high school students develop essential social skills while actively contributing to their community by addressing the basic needs of clothing, food, and laundry. Through practical experiences, students learn the value of empathy, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
