Care Closet
Care Closet
The BCMS Student Leadership Team is learning how to serve others through the creation of a Care Closet. We are accepting donations of new or gently used clothing, shoes, bags, and purses, along with non-perishable food items, personal hygiene and paper products.
The mission of the Care Closet is to provide assistance to students and their families during times of hardship and need to make a lasting, positive impact on our community.
We are #studentshelpingstudents

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 or the parent coordinator for private, confidential access to the items contained in the Care Closet.
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!
