Our Chick-fil-A Leader Academy is working with Lambs Elementary School to create a Care Closet with basic supplies for students in need. As many of you may be aware, many of the students at Lambs are free and reduced lunch. Some of the students come to school without the basic necessities for hygiene or school supplies. Our group is going to create a supply closet where students can go grab what they need without other students' acknowledgment.
We are holding a care closet drive as a house competition. Containers have been placed in each hallway and there are posters around the school with a list of items needed. Please encourage students to donate! We have worked to build a relationship with the students and faculty at Lambs over the last few years and would love to surprise them with a closet full of supplies!
