Sparky's Closet
Sparky's Closet is a free resource created by Ruby V. Lepe and operated by UIC Student Centers that provides clothing and everyday essentials to currently enrolled UIC students.
Located inside Millennium Lanes, the program helps reduce financial barriers while supporting student confidence, academic success, and overall well being.
Made possible through generous donations from the UIC community, Sparky's Closet gives new life to gently used items while reducing waste and strengthening partnerships with local nonprofit organizations.
