On Friday, November 11, from 8 am to noon, the Cambridge Central School District (CCSD) will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Cambridge Closet, for community members to find items for their students who are in need of clothing or toiletries.
The closet is equipped with lightly-used or new clothing, sneakers, boots, winter gear, backpacks, hygiene kits, and more, for those who find themselves in need. The closet is available daily for teachers and staff to access should a student need arise during the school day.
The closet was a culmination of hard work by grades K through 12 social worker Brooklynn Lee-Candee and grades 10 through 12 counselor and K though 12 counseling department chairperson Aydin O’Hearn.
The closet has already received donations from several individuals and organizations. The district would like to thank everyone who donated to ensure the closet was fully stocked for its opening.
If your students are in need of items from the closet, please reach out to Brooklynn or Aydin by emailing cambridgecloset@cambridgecsd.org or calling 518-677-8527 ext. 1422.
