The Caring Closet

Dear SMS Community: We are pleased to offer a new and exciting resource to the SMS community. We recently opened The Caring Closet to help supply our community with high-need items like clothing and nonperishable food. These items are donated by community members and stored in a separate room in SMS. The Caring Closet contains the following items: • Youth to small adult clothing • Coats

Individuals wanting to pick up or donate goods have a separate entrance behind SMS, which will help eas ily move items. If you want to know if certain goods are still available, schedule a pick-up, or donate goods, please get in touch with the counseling office at 540-268-2262, ext. 1. A special thanks to the following community mem bers for contributing clothing, food, and other items to The Caring Closet: Eliana Brammer, Miriam Centimore, Jude and Rigby Rodrigues, Joyce and Warren Walker, Heather and Chris Wlaker, Gracie Walker, Olivia Wilbon, Cindy Minnick of the Mead owbrook Library, Hannah Eder, and many others.

• Nonperishable food • Hygiene products
