Schools across the state are always looking for ways to support the health of their students. A local school has joined forces to create a healthy outlet for children in their district.
Mount Markham Central School
Mount Markham Central School District has partnered with Hannaford Supermarkets to create The Care Closet. This new addition gives students the option to take home toiletries or clothing for free.
There are two main purposes for The Care Closet. One is to provide these items to students if they do not already have access to them at home. The second objective is to make middle school students aware of the importance of hygiene and cleanliness.

All products were provided free of charge to Mount Markham thanks to Hannaford. The supermarket has also made a generous donation to the school to continue supporting and promoting positive school hygiene.
The Care Closet is open three times a week at Mount Markham’s Middle School:
- Monday – 5th Period
- Wednesday – 5th Period
- Friday – 10th period
Students can also make an appointment with a teacher or staff member to visit the closet at another time.

Mount Markham hopes this will foster healthier habits for their students at a time when they need them most. They also hope that other schools will follow in their footsteps and continue to find ways to support the health and well-being of their students.
