Many families face challenges in keeping up with clothing needs, especially during seasonal changes, and programs like clothing closets make a big difference. Here’s how it helps: **Meeting basic needs**: Clothing closets provide jackets, shoes, and other essentials, ensuring students are comfortable in and out of the classroom. **Boosting confidence**: New clothing helps students feel good about themselves, improving their self-esteem and willingness to attend school. **Community support**: Partnerships with organizations like Randy’s Closet and the Assistance League of Fresno ensure students have access to resources when they need them. *Watch now* to learn more about how clothing support programs are helping students thrive in Central Unified School District!
