Mama Mac’s Closet

  • MPS safety assistant Kimberly McLaughlin created "Mama Mac's Closet" to provide much-needed clothing and supplies to students at South Division.

Mama Mac’s closet was started 10 years ago to help students and families at South Division. Mama Mac began collecting coats from parents, staff, and the community. This led to other donations including clothing for children and adults and hygiene products. Word has spread around the South side about her Closet and families are grateful and appreciative. Besides her helping South Division students and families, donations to the closet also have benefited people at many shelters. Mama Mac says “I just want everyone to know how important it is to help the students and families, not just from South Division but the surrounding community,” she said. “The response has been outstanding and I couldn’t do it without everyone’s help.”

Words from Mama Mac

I have been a security guard for 26 years. I really love my job, because I get to help the students and their families. I have been at South Division High School for 22 years. This year I have 8 former South students who work here with me. I also have some freshmen parents helping that also went here to South Division High School. I want students to learn and have a good day at school. I have been hungry and didn’t always have the newest clothes. So I know what that is like. Now as an adult, it is time to give back, because I have the opportunity to help my kids and it feels great! When my kids are having a good day, I have a good day! I will continue to be a teacher of the hallways for many years. Love you all-Momma Mac.”
