The Care Cabinet is maintained through donations. Those wishing to contribute to this project may do so by purchasing items posted as Care Cabinet Needs through the Amazon Wish List to be delivered directly to 939, or may purchase items at the location of their choosing and deliver them to the school.
Another option is to donate money specifically the the Care Cabinet project by sending in a check or cash labeled "Care Cabinet Donation" ATTN: Rebecca Grady. Funds will be used to replenish items as needed.
