🚨 Diaper Alert! 🚨

Our Closet shelves are getting a little too breezy in the diaper department… and we could really use your help!

Right now, we are especially in need of Size 3, 4 & 5 diapers—the kind that seem to disappear faster than snacks in a house full of kids 😅

If you’re able to grab a pack (or two!) on your next store run, you’d be making a real, immediate difference for the families we serve. 💛

Donations can be dropped off at the Closet during donation hours (more hours will be announced later this week)—thank you for always showing up for our community in such a big way!

We are so grateful for the generosity of our local FOP West River Lodge # 5! Thank you for meeting this need today. 💙

🚲💙 Giving back, one ride at a time! 💙🚲

West River Lodge FOP is proud to donate two kids’ bikes to Foster For’em—helping bring smiles, freedom, and a sense of adventure to children in foster care.

It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference, and we’re honored to support such an incredible organization and the kids they serve.

Together, we can keep making an impact in our community. 💙

Hey friends! 💙

I wanted to share something fun and meaningful with you! Our local Human Service Zone have created some great T-shirts and stickers that support local foster care!

It’s a simple way to spread awareness, start conversations, and show love for kids and families in the foster care community right here in SW North Dakota. Every little bit helps, and it’s pretty awesome to be able to wear or share something that stands for such an important cause.

Take a peek and see if anything speaks to you—and thank you, as always, for being such a caring and supportive community. 💛

:: UPDATE: NEED MET! ::

Good morning, Village! We have a request for two very special little girls today. Maybe you can help?

We are looking for two 24" bikes. They don't need to be new, but they do need to be in excellent working condition! If your kids are upsizing and you're looking to clear out the garage, please consider gifting those bikes to these two girls.

Contact the Closet directly to set up drop off.

April may be ending, but prevention continues 💙

Let’s carry this forward:

• Check in on families
• Offer support without judgment
• Be a safe, consistent presence for kids

Because every child deserves a safe and supported childhood—every single day.

Want to be part of prevention? 💙

Here’s how you can help:

✔ Share resources and information
✔ Volunteer your time
✔ Encourage and uplift families around you

Every action helps create safer, stronger communities.

Asking for help is a strength 💙

Parenting is hard. Life is hard.

Creating a culture where families feel safe to ask for help—without shame—can prevent crisis.

Let’s be the kind of community that says:
“You don’t have to do this alone.”

Halfway through April 💙

Child abuse prevention is ongoing work—not just a one-month conversation.

Every time we:
✨ Offer support
✨ Lead with empathy
✨ Show up for families

—we are helping build safer childhoods.

Thank you for being part of this community.

One safe adult can change everything 💙

Children don’t need a perfect environment to thrive—they need at least one consistent, caring adult.

That could be:
• A foster parent
• A teacher
• A neighbor
• A community member

Your presence matters more than you think.

Meeting needs is prevention 💙

When families and foster placements have access to essentials—clothing, hygiene items, comfort items—it reduces stress and increases stability.

Our Foster Closet exists to help meet those needs quickly and with dignity.
