On March 23, 2024 Catie’s Closet will host “A Night to Open Doors” to raise $350,000 for 150,000 children living in poverty across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As we experience an unprecedented demand for our services, this event is critical to our mission of providing students in need with life-changing access to clothing and basic necessities.

We have grown tremendously over the last year and have celebrated very exciting milestones, including the opening of our Distribution Center in Western MA and our new Merrimack Valley Headquarters and Distribution Center. We now operate 130 closets and help more than 90,000 children each day.

In the midst of celebration and expansion, we are met with overwhelming numbers of children in need of support from our In-School Closet Program and SOS Urgent Response Program. There are currently more than 1,000 children on our urgent response waitlist and thousands of students are visiting our closets daily.

As these children endure unthinkable challenges and desperate feelings of loneliness and isolation, your support for a “A Night to Open Doors” allows us as a community to come together and be with them every step of the way. You have the power to help lift them up and help them overcome the obstacles in front of them .

We hope you will consider donating to this effort and join us as we continue our mission and promise to be with the children in our community every step of the way.
