Empowering Students. Elevating Communities.

At Caleb’s Closet, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the heart of Northwest Arkansas, we believe every student deserves the chance to succeed—regardless of circumstances beyond their control. Our mission is simple: provide essential clothing, shoes, and hygiene supplies to students in need through our local schools.

Our Purpose

Across our communities, many children face barriers that make it harder to thrive in the classroom. We help bridge that gap by collecting new and gently used items from generous donors and distributing them to schools serving under-resourced students. We see firsthand how a warm coat, a comfortable pair of shoes, or basic hygiene essentials can restore confidence and help a child focus on learning.

How It Works

We accept donations of new or gently used clothing and shoes, along with new hygiene products. Our dedicated volunteers sort and organize each donation, then we partner closely with local schools to ensure items reach the students who need them most. If you choose to donate monetarily, your donation will be used to purchase items for students, or to help with day to day operations of Caleb’s Closet. By working directly with educators, we’re not only meeting practical needs—we’re helping create a supportive environment where every student feels seen, valued, and cared for.

Our Vision

We envision a Northwest Arkansas where every child has access to basic necessities—so they can show up ready to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams. With community support, we can build a brighter future for students across our region.
