Today was a big step for the Foster Closet!
With the help of family, we spent the morning organizing all of the donations from our launch event, plus donations that have come in since then. Everything is now labeled and organized, and we were able to put together ready-to-go bags so we can quickly support foster and kinship families when a new placement happens.
We currently have bags prepared for:
• Babies
• Children ages 3-10
• Teens
Each bag includes essential hygiene items, comfort items, and a bag or backpack so children have something of their own when entering care.
We also have additional supplies organized and ready, including hygiene items, blankets, books, and household essentials for foster families.
We are also accepting donations of Visa or Walmart gift cards. While we do not have the storage for clothing of all sizes, we can use gift cards to purchase clothing on a case-by-case basis.
Thank you to everyone who has donated items, shared our page, or offered encouragement.
If you know of a foster or kinship family who could use support, please feel free to reach out.
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve children in our tristate area.
