A teacher at Canton Area High School has spearheaded an effort to provide donated hygiene products to students, called The Comfort Closet. Students who want to feel clean and confident before, during, or after the school day, are provided anything they might need; from deodorant and body wash, to laundry detergent and bath towels from the Closet supply.   Mrs. Kalyn Essick, English teacher at Canton, wants to inspire the community to help stock the Closet this year as well as inspire teachers at other schools to start their own Comfort Closet.
