There are more than 20,000,000 students living in poverty in the U.S. – with 308,000 in Massachusetts and New Hampshire alone. These students are easily identified and feel ostracized by their peers because of what they wear. Catie’s Closet provides an in-school resource so that students have immediate access to like-new clothes, free of charge.
