DELHI — A group of eight Delaware Academy juniors are initiating a project to benefit their fellow students, and are looking to the community to help support it.

The project is the “D.A. Care Closet,” a new initiative that aims to help students who may lack basic essentials like hygiene items and clothing with the items they need to feel confident and supported. The Care Closet will be stocked with new items purchased for the closet, and the group is seeking monetary donations from the community to help purchase them. You can learn more about contributing on the district’s website ( https://tinyurl.com/DACareCloset ).

The juniors and their advisor, High School Counselor Amanda Kane, have been participating in Catskill Area School Study Council conferences throughout the year, and part of their participation is the completion of a project to benefit their community. The D.A. Care Closet is their project, and they are excited about the potential of the project to make a meaningful difference in the lives of some of their fellow students.
