Students can only do their best when their basic needs are met first.

A care closet is a dedicated space inside a school where students and families can access everyday essentials when they need them most. These closets support students, families, and educators by providing items such as clothing, shoes, hygiene products, and nutritional snacks.

These requests are not for extras. They are for essentials that help students feel safe, confident, and ready to learn.

As more schools rely on Florida’s Unique Education Learning Support (FUELS) to help meet basic student needs, the demand continues to grow. Recently, one of our partner high schools made an urgent request for men’s and women’s shoes. It is a reminder that these needs are real, ongoing, and often immediate.

When we support care closets, we remove barriers so students can show up ready to learn and educators can focus on teaching.

WHAT IS A

CARE CLOSET?

What Care Closet Support Looks Like in Action

This video offers a behind-the-scenes look at how care closets are created and prepared for schools. From unpacking donated items to organizing supplies for delivery, this work happens long before a student ever opens a care closet door.

Care closets provide essential items such as hygiene products, clothing, shoes, and snacks so students can feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Each shelf stocked represents dignity, care, and a community coming together to meet real needs inside our schools.

Care Closets in Action

This video captures a care closet refill at one of our partner schools. It shows donated items being delivered, unpacked, and placed directly into a care closet that serves students and families on campus.

Care closets are not one-time projects. They require ongoing support as student needs change throughout the school year. By working alongside school staff, Florida’s Unique Education Learning Support helps ensure care closets remain stocked with essential items students rely on.

This is what partnership, dignity, and community support look like in action.
