Care Closet
Gatewood Care Closet
Gatewood’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee has created a confidential, welcoming space stocked with essential items like clothing, hygiene products,
and household basics. From socks to groceries, we’re here to help!
The Care Closet is available to any Gatewood student or family who could use a little extra
support. It isn’t just for times of serious need. It’s here for everyday situations too - like a
forgotten jacket on a cold day, an unexpected spill, or an embarrassing moment that calls
for a quick change or hygiene help.
Our goal is simple: to provide comfort, dignity, and a sense of normalcy
so that no child feels singled out or unprepared.
Simply reach out to any teacher, member of the administrative staff, or
email our Care Closet Coordinator at GatewoodCareCloset@gmail.com
Help us stock the Care Closet!
