FOLSOM HOUSE CARE CLOSET DRIVE

Sadly, many dozens of local students lack access to food over the weekends. In response, GHS teachers are leading an initiative to ensure these students receive food and basic essentials on a weekly basis. Community support is crucial as the need continues to grow.

To assist with this effort, a designated OGS Cares bin labeled "Folsom House Care Closet" has been placed in the front lobby at OGS. Students can drop off items as they enter the school.

Please consider contributing the following:


Non-Perishables Items:
  • instant soup/ramen
  • bags of white rice/beans
  • canned tuna
  • juice boxes
  • mac & cheese
  • tortillas
  • Goya tomato sauce
  • pasta
  • granola bars
  • snacks (TAKIS are a favorite!)
Basic Essentials:
  • soaps
  • body wash
  • shampoo
  • conditioner
  • moisturizer
  • laundry detergent
  • dish soap

Collections at OGS will run through Friday, November 7.


Prefer to order items online to send directly? Ship them to:

Folsom House Care Closet
Greenwich High School
10 Hillside Road
Greenwich, CT 06830


For families who would like to contribute larger donations or have GHS students who would like to help with drop-offs, please contact Cristina and Kristin to coordinate.
