The summer is heating up, and Emily's Care Closet is preparing for our 5th Annual Teen Back-to-School Drive, dedicated to helping teens ages 13–18 start the school year with confidence and success.

Imagine the impact of receiving a new backpack, stylish clothing, and the school supplies needed for a fresh start. Your support—whether through donating new items, making a monetary contribution, or volunteering your time, can make a meaningful difference in a teen’s life.

Together, we can ensure that every teen feels prepared, confident, and ready to thrive as they head back to school. Join us in showing our community's youth that they are valued, supported, and set up for success.

Let’s make this school year a memorable one for every teen!
