Impact Closets

September 10, 2019 – Sarah Reinecker and York Suburban students shared with us the Impact Closet project of the York Suburban Education Foundation. 

By collaborating with students, parents, alumni, the school district and the community, YSEF provides a venue to support value-added academic experiences. Through grants YSEF supplies the district with innovative programming and learning opportunities that set York Suburban apart from other school districts.

The Impact Foundation (IF), a student committee of the York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) formed in the fall of 2015. The students assisted in constructing impact closets within all six of the York Suburban School District buildings. The impact closets provide basic supplies for students attending each school.  The foundation also secured startup funds for stocking the closets with supplies. Thanks to the efforts of the student-run Impact foundation, a committee of YSEF, no child in the district lacks the basic essentials for school and home. Supplies such as toiletries and clothing are available because at YSSD, students help students.
