Cardinal Closet Update
A student walks into the Health Center, pinky toes sprouting from his only pair of shoes, asking for mental health counseling.
An interviewer looks over a student at a career fair and mentally tosses their resume in the "do not respond" pile because the student showed up to the Career Fair wearing ill-fitting pants, unmatched shirt, and no tie, not realizing the student didn't own any of those things.
A Texas winter strikes, suddenly going from 70 degrees to 30 in just 24 hours, but a student shows up to class wearing no jacket, no hat, because they've never lived somewhere with cold winters.
These are just a few of the real stories that happen on campus as told to me by faculty, students, and by witnessing it myself.
Last semester we were approached by the Health Education department and the Student Government here at Lamar about partnering for opening a Clothing Closet in addition to our Food Pantry, so we can meet this need. We've been working tirelssly to get this program off the ground and now we need your help!
We're looking for new or gently used clothing items, including shirts, jackets, pants, skirts, shoes, accessories, etc. If donating undergarments, they must be new and in original packaging. We will also take a few extra hangers if you have some to spare.
If you or your church would like to donate clothes for this endeavor, please reach out by email at revkyle@thewesleyfoundation.com or phone 409-728-7473.
