Student Care Supply Closets

Do you have extra toiletries or household products?

UMass has Student Care Supply Closets that provide free toiletries and household items to students who are facing economic insecurity and/or an unexpected financial emergency. 

The Student Care Supply Closets inventory is sustained through donations from the campus and local community, as well as the Student Care Emergency Response Fund.

Contribute by donating new, full-size items to the Student Care Supply Closets. Donations can be delivered to the Dean of Students Office (227 Whitmore Administration Building) Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Contact us if your group would like to host a donation drive, or to learn more about our current needs.

Give a gift directly to the Student Care Emergency Response Fund. SCERF also funds the Microgrant Program which provides emergency grants to students experiencing an unexpected hardship.
