Addressing the Needs of Homeless and Underserved Students
How You Can Support Lucus's Closet
Lucus's Closet relies on the compassion and generosity of individuals, businesses, and community organizations to ensure students in need have access to essential supplies. There are several impactful ways to get involved:
Donate Supplies

- Seasonal items (coats, gloves, socks, etc.)
We accept both individual and bulk donations. Collection drives hosted by churches, businesses, and civic groups are especially welcome.
