Care Closet

The BCMS Student Leadership Team is learning about serving others through their service-learning project. This year's endeavor is the creation of a Care Closet, where students, staff, parents, and community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used clothing and shoes, along with non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, and paper goods.

The mission of the Care Closet is to offer assistance to students and their families during times of hardship and need. Ensuring that each student has access to life's basic necessities enables them to contrate on their education. Through the outreach efforts of our student-led Care Closet, we are not only enhancing the lives of our students but also making a positive impact on our community.

How It Works.....

Any student at Burke County Middle School is eligible to utilize the services of the Care Closet at any time during the school year. Students or parents needing assistance should contact his/her counselor for private, confidential access to the items contained in the Care Closet, or complete this Care Closet Referral Form.

The neatly organized Care Closet is located in a confidential, secure location, and we aim to ensure each student or family has an amazing shopping experience!
