H.E.L.P. Organization Community Closet

The H.E.L.P. Organization Community Closet offers clothing and other personal hygiene items to students and their immediate families. The referrals are provided by school guidance counselors based on teacher recommendations. Upon receipt of the referral, immediate action is taken based upon the community closet need form, and the materials are delivered directly to the individuals and their families. Events such as house fires and homeless issues receive immediate attention. Through the Community Closet, H.E.L.P. Organization hosts an annual “Prom surprise Day.” School guidance counselors select two young ladies per high school to receive prom dresses and accessories. This service extends formal attire to young ladies within Jefferson County School system who experience hardship and lack the adequate funding to purchase prom attire.
