Needs Closet at Columbus Catholic Schools
The Needs Closet at Columbus Catholic Schools will provide snacks and essential personal hygiene items for students at each of our school buildings. These items will be available to any student who may be in need, experiencing a difficult time, or simply requiring a little extra support.
The program will continue to adapt to remain both helpful and sustainable. Items offered may change over time based on feedback and experience.
Interested in supporting the Needs Closet?
We welcome donations of both cash and items. For more information or to contribute, please contact Kris Nielsen at 715-387-1177 ext. 3318 or nielsen.kris@columbusdons.org.
