Character Care Closet

• Professional  School Counselors (or their designated school representatives) identify a  basic need of an individual student and communicates it to Orangeburg  County Community of Character via email. You may use the form at the bottom of this page to facilitate your request.
• Through our ‘Care’ network, we secure the donation. We either secure actual item or use grants and donor donations to purchase item. 
• Desired turnaround time remains less  than a week.  Our “closet” is virtual as we don’t currently have a large space to maintain regular inventory.
• School representatives are notified, if for any reason, the request cannot be filled.  At this time, we are requesting only new items be donated. 
• Orangeburg County Community of Character secures volunteers to help manage the program.
   

The best way to inspire others is through demonstration of the desired outcome. That’s only one of the reasons this initiative was created. The Character Care Closet is a community kindness mission. It’s where compassion and kindness meet need! And it’s a win for all involved. We are inspiring and motivating others to show excellence in character traits that are essential for individual growth and relationship building through education, awareness, and advocacy. And we’re doing it while addressing a key need to help ensure that our students are able to attend school and focus on their education.
