We love to give back to our members and our communities. Join us and make a difference locally!

Here at Fairfield Center School we have started Brenda's Closet. It's a closet where kids can help themselves to personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, bars of soap, feminine products, packages of socks, and underwear.

A very special thank you goes out to Woodmen Life VT Chapter 1 for donating all of the products in the picture below. It has helped us fill our closet and help many students in need!!

We named our closet after our very dear friend and colleague Brenda Goodhue who passed away in November 2021. She was always so willing to help any child in need and found ways to get them what they needed. We miss her very much and thought this was a great way to pay tribute to her.

If you would like to donate to Brenda's Closet, please contact Debbie Boomhover at [email protected]
