Angels’ Care Closet Back-to-School Events Success

Angels’ Care Closet, Inc. hosted two Back-To-School Events – 08/18/18 at Doorways Food Pantry and 08/20/2018 at Seekonk Human Services for Seekonk Families. Families were gifted with back-to-school supplies, age-appropriate toiletries and undergarments, backpacks, personalized items, and their selection of donated clothes and shoes.

We would like to thank the community for the outpouring of support! Your donations of school supplies, clothes, shoes, and toiletries were given to families free of charge and were greatly appreciated. We also appreciate the partnership with Doorways and Human Services to enable us to reach our families in need.
A sincere thank you to Champion Motorsports at 49 Mink Street, Seekonk for serving as the donation drop off center for this drive. Without their partnership for our community – these community events simply would not have been possible.

An additional thank you to Ms. Diane Johnson, of Kay Dee’s Boutique - Seekonk, MA, who customized nearly 100 items for our students. This donation consumed both business and personal time, as well as inventory, to ensure each child had unique items specific to gender, age, and grade.

Clothes not selected during the event will be donated to the local area schools for children in need, given to children in foster or transitional housing, and a small inventory on hand to immediately assist families during a crisis. Donations are still being accept to support these efforts throughout the year.
