The school community closet Warrior Closet gives every kid who visits for back-to-school backpack and school clothes shopping a brand new pair of shoes to start school in. We are preparing for our August 5th opening back. We had 99 kids come through last year for the three-day 6hrs of events. I like to put this out early so people contributing can keep an eye on the sales and when, especially Famous footwear and or Rackroom, do buy one get one 1/2 off bogos on shoes and backpacks. They also put a lot of shoes on clearance that you can buy with the BOGOs too. The kids 11 through size 1 love the character shoes. The 2 and or above ones I would do something they can wear more with everything.

Mom is in need of a new carpet and some new furniture. Mom has tried to clean up the carpet, but every time she attempts to clean it, it still get messy. Mom is wanting to get rid of it entirely, but doesn't have the funds. Mom also lacks some furniture in the home and could use help getting a couch or two.

This family is currently in a Temporary Alternative Placement Agreement with Children's Division. The great grandmother of the child has taken full caretaking responsibility while the father works on substance abuse treatment. The new addition to the great grandmothers responsibilities has taxed her ability to financially make ends meet. The child needs to attend daycare so the great grandmother can work during the day and recently she paid for the childs daycare from her funds saved for rent.

By helping make up the funds she needed to take from her rent and paying for the remaining balance of the daycare this family will continue to care for the 3 year old child with autism while the father receives the substance abuse treatment he desperately needs.

The family have worked with us for 2 months. The family are in FCS. The mother and 3 kids under 5 (1 is the newborn sister, are fleeing a DV home) there is a need to get help with formula and a couple things for the baby, as Mom was living with father of the baby and he was abusive.

They live with a family member, but that family member / household care for a brother who has around the clock nursing in the home. He is nonverbal and they need resources to be able to stay safely here, but for her to be able to feed and diaper the baby until her SNAP benefits are reinstated. Formula Similac Gent Elease and diapers are immediately needed for baby. The person Mom is fleeing from kept her SNAP card and Debit card and stole all her personal belongings. The family they live with till allow them refuge, which is safe, but she had to leave behind everything to get to safe places. She needs a stroller, a swing, a bed for MOM & Diapers and formula to get started. We are working on also getting beds for her boys who are 3 and 5. She is on a pull-out couch, and she needs a bed badly.

This is a family that has been working with Children's Division for several months now and has been trying to clean the home without much success. They have requested assistance with getting a dumpster so they can remove clutter and other things they do not need in order to get the house truly clean.

With the house clean the family will be able to work on other problems and will be one huge step closer to thriving again.

This family is currently working with Children's Division through Family Centered Services and the children are out of the home and with relatives due to the conditions of the home. The family is requesting a dumpster at the home so they can remove items in the home they they do not need or are now so unsanitary they can no longer be kept.

By fulfilling this need, this family will be one massive step closer to reunifying and the children, parent, and grandmother will be far more healthy moving forward.

Single mom of 4 kids; mom and dad are not together but up until recently they were co-parenting well and sharing expenses well. Dad has not been helping mom with the car payment as agreed upon. Mom is one month behind on the payment and is not sure how she will get caught up. Mom needs a safe mode of transportation to get the kids to/from school and herself to/from work. Total due is $631. Any help is very appreciated!

Our schools' nursing offices are low in needed supplies! We have sent out family requests from time to time and that helps meet some, but not all of the need. Elementary children will sometimes have bathroom accidents and need a fresh pair of pants that are not available. There are also feminine hygiene needs in higher grades where new clothing is required. Having appropriate clothing on hand allows the children to stay in school and not have to go home or wait for a parent to take time off work to run home and get clothes-sometimes causing lost wages. It avoids embarrassment and shame by having needed item quickly on hand to offer student. We know the request is high and don't expect request to be fully met- any partial help is appreciated!
