15 hours left to get the word out about the NKU Care Closet! We greatly appreciate the generosity of all the folks who have supported our project so far! We just need $295 to close the gap and make it to the finish line.

If we can meet our goal, we will be able to purchase a pop-up dressing room so students can try on clothes before they head out into the world. Pop-up dressing room = increased accessibility to the program.

The clock is ticking! Make your gift today!

Only $500 to go!

Two days left to rack up support for the NKU Care Closet! Meeting our goal means that we can cater to more students and provide them with top-notch service. We’re so close to the finish line! Be sure to spread the word to friends and family about this critical campus resource.

Thank you to all that have shared and donated to our project! We can continue empowering students to feel confident in their shoes because of donors like you.

$500 down, $1,000 to go!

We are over a third of the way to reaching our fundraising goal of $1,500 to support the long-term operation of the Care Closet! Just two weeks left to turn your gift into necessary items like clothing racks, hangers and custom shopping bags.

Because of your support, more students can access the professional wear they need to secure jobs and internships. THANK YOU for ensuring student access to professional development resources.

Eager to help the Care Closet? Spread the word about our project by sharing on social media how folks can make a difference in the lives of our Norse! Ambassador tip: Tag your friends and other NKU campus orgs to reach a wider audience.

$15

Office Supplies

We are in need of miscellaneous supplies that help us run our day-to-day activities. These include things like sharpies, stickers, labels, fabric refresher, stain sticks, etc.

$30

Sizing Tools

To ensure that our students are finding clothes that fit them in their correct measurements, we are in need of some sizing tools. Measuring tape and shoe sizing scales are two examples of these tools.

$50

Packs of Hangers

As you can imagine, the Care Closet is in need of nice hangers! The use of velvet hangers helps to prevent tearing the clothes and gives the space a more professional feel. Your $50 donation provides us with 50 hangers.

$100

Shopping Bags

We use custom shopping bags at the Care Closet that are reuse-able for the student. Branded with our logo on the side, these bags help spread our name across campus to reach as many students as possible. Your donation of $100 helps us order 80 more bags.

$250

Clothing Racks

The Care Closet space is in need of durable clothing racks. Transporting clothes between places on campus for events can be difficult with few racks available to us. Your $250 donation buys us one new, durable clothing rack.
