The Colony Cupboard is a resource closet at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School that provides essential items like school supplies, personal hygiene products, and sometimes even food to students and families facing financial hardship. Launched by members of the BBH High School Counseling Department, the cupboard aims to eliminate barriers to success for students by ensuring they have the necessary resources to thrive. The program operates discreetly and free of charge.

We can support this work through donations right here at Brecksville United Methodist Church! Look for the wooden bin on the first floor. The bin will always have a sign with a list of items most needed at this time.
