Adopt-a-Charity Project

The adopt-a-charity Project for this year’s Massachusetts National Honor Society is Catie’s Closet.
Mission: Catie’s Closet improves school attendance and graduation rates, as well as the mental, emotional, and physical health of students facing poverty, homelessness, and other crises by providing free, in-school access to clothing and basic necessities and uniting with community partners to meet students’ other immediate needs.
Vision: For every child to have access to the essentials that foster physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Our committee is working on ways to celebrate through the MSAA the
good works being done by NHS Chapters from all over the state. The MSAA
will highlight them on our NHS website as well as other social media
avenues we employ.  The goal is to have every NHS Chapter in the state
work to ease some of the burdens of their community members through
their leadership, scholarship, service, and character.

To apply to nominate your project for Adopt-a-Charity,  you can upload your photos, write-ups, or any other information about your service project through the link below:
