The Caring Closet is a special storeroom that stocks clothing, shoes, food, toiletries, school supplies and other items for students in need. The response to the blink-and-you-might-miss-it space has been nothing short of enlightening. “I remember one student in particular asked me if I had any lotion, so we walked down to The Caring Closet, and once we got in there, he looked around at everything inside and said to me, ‘Can I have that pair of socks?
