The Walking Closet Club Donates to Lotus House

The State of Florida Interagency Council on Homelessness reported that over 32,000 homeless men, women, and children are residing in our state. As of January 2018, the Homeless Trust reports that there are 1,000 people living on the streets on any given day and 2,000 living in shelters in Miami-Dade County.

On Friday, October 26, PTS Club, The Walking Closet Club went to the Lotus House in Overtown to bring a donation of Halloween costumes. Two weeks prior, the students collected over 60 Halloween costumes from their peers at Palmer Trinity School to share with the kids at Lotus House. The Walking Closet collects clothing throughout the year to be donated to those in need. The Lotus House is a homeless shelter for women and children. While at Lotus House, Walking Closet club members had a great time playing with the children, helped organize the donated costumes, and helped made Halloween very special for everyone at Lotus House! The kids dressed up, ate candy, and had an amazing Halloween!
