Madison Park Academy (TK-5) & (6-12)

The Do Good Community Closet at Madison Park in Oakland is a valuable resource that serves students, their families, educators, and staff. The closet offers clothing, food, and supplies to those in need within the school community. It is located at both the TK-5 and 6-12 campuses of Madison Park, providing accessible support for students of all ages.

The Do Good Community Closet aims to alleviate the financial burden on families by providing essential items such as clothing and supplies, allowing students to focus on their education without worrying about their basic needs. In addition to serving the student body, the closet supports educators and staff who may need assistance with personal or classroom supplies.

The Do Good Community Closet at Madison Park is a vital resource that fosters a sense of unity and support within the school community. It provides a safe and welcoming space for students, families, educators, and staff to access essential items without fear of judgment or stigma. This initiative truly embodies the spirit of doing good and making a positive impact in the local community.

Real-Life Impact
The impact of the Community Closets on families in need goes beyond just providing them with essential items. It can also have a ripple effect on their overall well-being and quality of life. By reducing financial burdens, promoting dignity and empowerment, and fostering community support, families can thrive and overcome challenges. Just this week, a family of 8 from Mexico arrived and enrolled their children in school. Our Do Good Community Closet supported them with clothing, home goods, and food to help ease their challenges of transitioning to a new country. The children could get extra snacks during the school day when they needed extra nourishment.
