Santee Care Closets

Santee Care Closets

The Santee Care Closet program is a network of need-based resource closets located at Carlton Hills, Carlton Oaks, Chet F. Harritt, and PRIDE Academy. The closets offer clothing, toiletries, and household items to families in need throughout our school district. If your family could benefit from these items, please contact your child’s teacher or the front office at one of the closet locations. We are here to support our Santee School District Family with care and compassion!
