We want to take a moment to say THANK YOU!!! Seeing how the community has rallied to support our rapidly growing Foster Care Closet reminds us just how much kids are valued in this community.

Foster Care Closet of Jackson exists to meet immediate, practical needs so foster parents can focus on helping a child feel safe, seen, and cared for. We run almost entirely on community support.

Whether you donate gently used or new clothing, drop off diapers, wipes, or toiletries, give financially or share our wishlist, you are making a difference. We are so thankful for you. See more about how to give here: https://www.arborchurch.org/fostercarecloset

If you’re a parent, you know how often you are shopping for your kids. Whether it’s cleats for the latest sport, a swimsuit for an upcoming trip or new jeans because alllll the pairs you bought 3 months ago suddenly don’t fit, you are constantly on the lookout for something.
Please keep the Foster Care Closet of Jackson in mind when you shop!!
Find a great deal on your daughter’s new summer shorts? Consider buying a second pair for the Closet.
Did those jeans NEVER get worn before they were outgrown? They could make the day of a child in foster care (and their foster parent).
We are so grateful for you keeping us in mind when you are shopping, and for being part of the village supporting children in foster care.

It is never a good day when children are separated from their parents.
But when family and other loved ones are able to step in, we are eager to support and show up to make things just a little easier.
We are grateful for families who say yes and for our amazing supporters and volunteers who mobilize quickly when a need arises.
Because of you, 3 kids had cozy beds to sleep in last night and fresh clothes for the days to come!💗

Sometimes the numbers can be overwhelming. 400,000 kids in foster care in the U.S. is hard to grasp. But here are the hard numbers for Jackson County from fostercaredata.cafo.org. Jackson's ratio of licensed foster homes to children in care is below both the state and national average. 59 licensed homes and 189 kids in care.

What a child wears matters. For better or for worse, clothes are so much more than just clothes.
They represent so much:
-a sense of belonging (do I look like my peers?)
-personal dignity and confidence (do I feel good in what I am wearing? does it fit?)
-stability (am I comfortable and do I feel like me?)

These things are all the more important for a child in foster care.

That is why we at the Foster Care Closet of Jackson seek to provide high-quality, like new or new items to our kids. It’s not about the name brands. It is reminding a child that they matter. How they feel matters. The way they look matters. That they are worthy.
