A grassroots effort in metro Detroit is working to ensure children have the necessary basics for the upcoming school year. The Little Free Closets network is seeking school supplies to stock its locations. The network has over 26 locations across the area, providing food, clothing, and emergency supplies to neighborhoods.

Organizers have identified school supplies as the current biggest need. Further information about the Little Free Closets network and its efforts can be found in a report by Jeffrey Lindblom, which provides more details about the initiative and its founder, Sarah Bedigian.
