At Northern Kentucky University, no student should have to choose between buying textbooks or affording basic essentials like clothing. Yet, clothing insecurity is a growing and often invisible challenge to accessing an education. The Care Closet exists to bridge that gap—providing free, accessible business and everyday attire to students in need so they can focus on what truly matters: their education.
This campaign directly supports the UCAP and Gown Program, which gives graduating students access to caps and gowns at no cost—ensuring that financial hardship doesn’t prevent anyone from celebrating this huge achievement. A cap and gown may seem small, but for many students, it symbolizes resilience, accomplishment, and hope.
Your gift will also support ongoing Care Closet needs:
Professional and casual clothing for students attending interviews, internships, or class
Reusable Shopping Bags to help students comfortably carry their items around campus and support our efforts of encouraging sustainability at NKU
Restocking essentials to ensure the closet remains a reliable resource year-round
By donating today, you're helping reduce stigma, ease financial burdens, and empower NKU students to succeed with dignity and pride.
Give confidence. Give access. Give today. 👗👔🎓
