The Success Closet is looking for new or gently used coats, as well as winter pants and waterproof mittens/gloves. The Success Closet, in partnership with United Way of Mower County, seeks to help students have access to the basic necessities of life so that they can focus on their education. Through this effort, more than 100 coats were distributed to students in 11 local schools last year.

Wish List: Items Needed*:
  • Coats
  • Snow pants
  • Insulated mittens/gloves
  • Boots
 
*items should be youth/adult sized and new or gently-worn

Donation boxes are located at:
  • St Augustine's

​
Place winterwear items in a sealed bag inside the donation box.

Hosting a drive: Hosting a supply drive at your location is simple, email successcloset2020@gmail.com and we will be in touch to help you get started on hosting your own donation drive!

Distribution: Success Closet distributions to students in need are conducted in a private and safe environment. Closets are maintained at area schools and are stocked by Success Closet volunteers throughout the year. Student use is confidential so that students will not feel they “stand out” because they have been to the Success Closet. We want the people who use the Success Closet to feel good. Do you ever feel good when you go shopping? That is how we want this experience to be.
