The Comet Closet had its open house Saturday, August 14 at Caston School Corporation, providing families in the community with donated clothing items, shoes, coats, toiletries and more. 

Normally open Monday thru Friday for Caston students, this year the Comet Closet is being run by Caston's Delaney Strasser for her senior project. She said it's a place that's open for everybody. 

2021 Caston graduate Micah  Colvin, who joined Delaney Saturday as she worked during the open house, said he remembers the closet coming in handy to many students at the school. 

Delaney is excited to see Comet Closet grow in leaps and bounds. 

2019 Caston graduates Hayli Brown and Johanna Sosa opened Comet Closet as their senior project. The idea for the closet was started by Melinda Shultz, a key club sponsor who teaches High School English, Speech, and journalism at the school. 

The Comet Closet gets donations from groups throughout the community and has received tremendous support. 

Melinda hopes the Comet Closet continues to grow and flourish at Caston in the future.
