Thank you to the wonderful youth group from Forest Lake Presbyterian Church for spending the morning with us as we prepared our Back to School bags! 💙

They helped us get organized, added some cheerful messages to brighten students’ days, and were an absolute delight to have with us. We are so grateful for their time, energy, and willingness to jump in and help!

Thank you, Forest Lake Presbyterian youth, we loved having you at EMS Closet! 🎒✨

💙 Thank You, Spring Valley Presbyterian!

A huge thank you to our friends at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church for their continued support of EMS Closet! They have a wonderful way of showing up with amazing donations exactly when we need them most.

This latest donation, made possible by the generosity of their Bible School and congregation will go a long way toward bringing smiles and happiness to local students as they head into a new school year. 🎒💙

We are so grateful for this ongoing partnership and for everyone at Spring Valley Presbyterian who continues to believe in and support our mission!

Thank you for always showing up for our students! 💙💛❤️

Thank you, Hadley! 💙

We want to give a very special shoutout to our wonderful summer volunteer, Hadley Glen!

Hadley spent part of her summer volunteering at EMS Closet, and she was an absolute joy to have in the Closet. She worked hard, jumped right in, and made a real difference in helping us get clothing ready for the students we serve.

But Hadley didn't stop there! She also organized her own fundraiser through her dance school and raised an incredible $400 donation for EMS Closet. We are so impressed by her initiative, generosity, and big heart. 💙

We have loved getting to know Hadley this summer and watching her make such a positive impact. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and are proud to count her as a wonderful friend of EMS Closet!

Thank you, Hadley, for spending your summer with us and showing us that you are never too young to make a difference! 💙💛❤️

We can't wait to see what you do next! ✨
