Kettering Leadership Academy’s Class of 2023 is proud to introduce Kettering’s first Community Cupboard located at Oakview Elementary School at the corner of Stroop Road and Ackerman Boulevard. The cupboard will be accessible 24/7 stocked with non-perishable food items, hygiene and household supplies and information for a variety of community resources.
Two additional locations have also been approved and details will be shared at a later date. Cupboard maintenance will happen collaboratively between the school and other community groups. The philosophy behind the cupboard is for people to take what they need and give what they can.
This initiative would not be possible without the efforts of KLA ’23 and countless partnerships created to make this concept a reality. Many thanks to Day-Air Credit Union, Bogg Ministries, Lowe’s Centerville on Wilmington Pike, Dor Wood Optimists, Good Shepherd Church, Kettering City Schools – Oakview Elementary, Kettering City Schools Forward Foundation and Kettering Rotary Club.
