The Caring Closet

For the ninth year in a row, the City of Hamilton employees participated in a new, gym shoe drive for the Caring Closet kids. Wow did they step up this year!! 350 pairs of new gym shoes were delivered to the Caring Closet!
HUGE thank you to all who donated! Special thank you to Ashley and Peggy for coordinating the drive and to Marcus for helping deliver it. Colin and Bentley, Badin students, carried the shoes up the steps and an army of Caring Closet volunteers showed up to put them on shelves so we can pack them into the student’s boxes. It truly takes a village!

What a great way to start a Monday!
The Hamilton Community Foundation’s Youth Philanthropy Committee stopped by the Caring Closet to learn about what we do and how they can help. Students from Badin, Hamilton High, New Miami, Ross and Fairfield are learning about philanthropy and how to serve their communities. We love our youth and all they do to support the Caring Closet kids!
