Whitehall Central School Welcomes Uth Closets Partnership

On Tuesday, October 7, Whitehall Central School welcomed volunteers from Uth Closets to help establish and stock resource closets at both the Jr.-Sr. High School and Elementary School.

Uth Closets are school-based resource centers that give students discreet access to essential items, including clothing, hygiene products, food, school supplies and other everyday necessities. Through this partnership, Whitehall students can access these resources right at school, at no cost and without applications or paperwork.

Uth Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring every young person has access to their essential needs, supportive relationships and opportunities to reach their full potential. Whitehall Central School District is one of Uth's first pilot partners, with closets now established at both school buildings.

We are excited to bring this additional layer of support to our students and grateful to partner with an organization that shares our commitment to supporting the whole child.

A special thank-you to Payton Sharrow and Jenna Regner for volunteering their time to help set up and stock the closets with new items. We also extend our appreciation to our cafeteria staff for providing a wonderful lunch for the volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this partnership possible. We look forward to the positive impact this program will have on our school community.
