The 2026 Convention Community Project is the East Middle School Community Closet and Family Laundry Room in Aurora, Colorado. These programs deliver essential resources while upholding dignity and building stronger connections within the school community. The Community Closet invites families to select clothing, shoes, hygiene products, and school supplies, ensuring immediate access to daily essentials in a warm, welcoming setting. The Family Laundry Room complements this by providing washers, dryers, and laundry supplies, removing obstacles to student confidence, regular attendance, and overall well-being.
