Community Closet

Available to all students and staff members

The Community Closet was created in 2022 as a resource for the students and staff members of Paw Paw School. It provides personal health products for those in need. We also keep spare clothes on hand in case of accidents, spillings, dirt/mud, etc. All of our resources are donated by the Lee County Health Department and members of the community. We are always accepting donations and are currently in need of the following items:

• Travel size personal care items: Deodorant, lotion, mouth wash, toothpaste, lip balm, etc.

• Feminine hygiene products

• New or gently used shirts and pants with sizes ranging from child 4/5 to adult 3XL.

• New or gently used gender neutral socks: all sizes.

• Underwear: all sizes (never been worn)
