Care Closet Resources
The Berkeley Hillel Community Care Closet aims to bridge the gap between students in the Berkeley and Berkeley Hillel communities and basic necessities. This closet is free and open to students seeking hygiene products, non-perishable foods, and other essentials. The Closet is located on the 1st floor, across from the women’s restroom.
Have items to donate? Questions about the Care Closet? Reach out to Avital at araff@berkeleyhillel.org.
