Who We Are:
The Giving Closet Project (GCP), established in 2016, is a nonprofit organization committed to removing educational barriers for students experiencing chronic and/or situational poverty. To date, we have served approximately 25,000 students and families across Northeast & South Florida. Today, GCP is the connective force behind a network of 75+ unique social service agencies and two large school districts (Duval & Palm Beach Counties).
Through these partnerships, we proudly serve thousands of vulnerable youth and families facing the compounded challenges of violence, trauma, and mental health struggles each year. Together, we are removing barriers and empowering communities with intentionality, purpose, and passion.
Real Stories that Tell About Our Why
Imagine an 8-year-old wanting to skip school only because their clothes are filthy and have not been washed in weeks or months. A special needs student who comes to school without socks or underwear under her jeans, which hurts and makes her walk slow and awkwardly because she is in pain. A student whose mom is a victim of domestic violence and she needs hygiene products, including tampons. These are just a few of the children that GCP has helped recently.
How We Serve:
- Essential Angels: Online Referral Portal
- Emergency Walk-Ins
- Partner Appointments
- Field Trips & Workshops
- Holiday Givebacks
