Nurse's Comfort Closet
Both VDV & SMS
Please help fill our School Nurses' Comfort Closet!
Our VDV and SMS school nurses keep Comfort Closets supplied with all sorts of items to help our kids. When a student needs something like clean clothes, a bottle of water, or a snack, our school nurses are on the case!
Please see link for some of the most requested items to help keep the Comfort Closets stocked.
When sending in socks, underwear, and deodorant, please ensure that all items are NEW and UNUSED.
Gently used sweatpants and leggings are welcomed in various sizes, provided that the clothing is in good condition; ie, no stains, holes, or rips.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
