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


Provide new, unused items such as:

  • School supplies (notebooks, pencils, backpacks, calculators)
  • Non-perishable snacks and food items
  • Hygiene products (toothpaste, deodorant, sanitary items, soap)
  • Clothing and shoes (new or gently used, as appropriate)
  • 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.


Make a Financial Contribution


100% of monetary donations go directly to purchasing supplies for students—there are no administrative overhead costs. Contributions can be made via:
