What is Greenacres' Care Closet & Food Pantry?
What is Greenacres’ Care Closet?
Our Care Closet is a useful resource for students of families in need of toiletries and other personal hygiene products. The closet provides a safe environment for students to discretely pick the items they are in need of. It can enhance the social, emotional, and academic well-being of our students and their families. Our goal is to help make students feel more comfortable at school each day, and know they are loved and cared about here. With our efforts and community contributions, we hope to make a difference in Greenacres’ students’ lives by helping build confidence, providing aid, and enhancing their overall well-being at school.
Food Pantry:
We are excited to share that our school now has a Food Pantry available to support families who may need extra assistance with groceries. The pantry is open to any family in our school community and is intended to provide additional support during times of need. Accessing the pantry is completely confidential, and families are welcome to use it as needed.
