Do Good Community Closets - Alameda

Our organization has always been about neighbors helping neighbors, especially our neighborhood children. We have been steadily working on multiple school community closets, with several already up and running.
What is a school community closet? It's a safe place for students who need to come and pick up their basic necessities. The community closets are set up on campus where it's easily accessible and discreet, and the kids can feel comfortable going there to get what they need free of cost.
And what can they find in their school community closet? We supply a range of items that kids need daily, such as clothes and shoes, toiletries, and household items like toilet paper. There, they can find a caring school staff member to help them out, and most of all, they will find hope.
