Twain Stu-Co Toiletry Drive
Our Twain Stu-Co partnered with FHS's Stu-Co during Charity Week-Monday, March 6th-Friday, March 10th. Our Twain students and families were so generous! We collected over 350 toiletry & hygiene products and items for The Macomb Foster Closet. WOW!
The Macomb Foster Closet is located in Mt. Clemens and provides much needed clothing and essential items (free of charge) to children in foster care. They are always in need of clothing and NEW items like soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, deodorent, Q-tips, lip balm, combs, brushes, new toiletry bags, and lice kits. They also provide additional services throughout the year such as loaded school backpacks, birthday bags, Easter baskets, and holiday gifts.
We cannot thank our Twain Community enough for being so thoughtful and giving to this amazing "all-volunteer" organization!
Thank you so much!
