Did you know Together We Foster has FIVE clothing closets across Northeast Arkansas and the Delta? ā¤ļø

Our closets are often the first stop for children entering foster care, but they continue to be a source of support throughout their time in care, helping meet their changing needs along the way. We have clothing, hygiene products, diapers, formula, bedding, toys, and so much more. Children and teens get to pick out their own items for FREE because we believe every child deserves to feel comfortable and confident in what they wear.

šŸ“ Paragould, Jonesboro, Rector, Pocahontas, and Forrest City

We serve foster families regardless of their licensing agency, along with children and families with open protective service cases. Our closets are accessible to Child Welfare staff 24/7 and to foster families by appointment.

Everything we provide is FREE, thanks to our amazing donors! Each month, we share a list of items we're accepting to help keep our shelves stocked for the next child or family who needs us.

Have a donation to make? Check out our monthly needs list in the comments! Know a foster family? Send them our way! šŸ–¤ā¤ļø

šŸŽ„ Christmas is just around the corner, and we’re looking for people who would love to make Christmas a little brighter for a child impacted by foster care or a child whose family currently has an open protective services case.

We’re currently looking for Christmas Wishlist sponsors in Greene, Craighead, and Clay Counties!

šŸŽ Sponsors are asked to spend around $150 on the child’s wishlist and deliver the gifts to the DHS office of the child you are assigned during the first 10 day of December!

You can sign up at the link and we’ll send wishlists to sponsors near the end of October.

When we talk about foster care, it’s easy to picture little ones. But teenagers need safe, loving homes, too. šŸ’™

They need someone to believe in them, encourage their dreams, celebrate their milestones, and remind them that their story matters. They need someone in their corner as they navigate some of life’s biggest changes.

Being a teenager is hard enough. Walking through foster care shouldn’t mean walking through it alone.

Teens need foster homes, too. Could your home be the one a teenager needs? šŸ’™

If you’ve ever considered becoming a foster parent and want to learn more about what opening your home looks like, we’d love to help! You can complete the link below to get more information and take the first step toward learning more.

Today, a few birthday decorations and some gifts helped make a birthday extra special at one of our Resource Centers. ā¤ļø

During their weekly visit, these parents got to decorate and celebrate their child’s birthday, and they were SO thankful for the opportunity to make the day special!

Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most. Being able to decorate for your child’s birthday, give them a few gifts, and make memories together. šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

We’re thankful we could help make this birthday a little more special!

THIS is what foster care is all about. ā¤ļø

One of our foster moms recently shared a story that deserves to be celebrated!

When a little boy came into her home, she knew she wanted to give him all the love and care he needed. But along the way, something beautiful happened. She built a relationship with his momma, too, as his momma worked toward bringing him home. They supported one another, worked together, and made sure this little boy had the love he needed from both of them.

And now? Reunification is complete! No more court dates, no more scheduled visits, no more case requirements. Just love, family, and a friendship that will continue long after foster care.

THIS is what we love to see!

Foster care isn't just about opening your home to a child. It's about recognizing that child comes from a family, too. It's about loving their child while encouraging and supporting them as they work toward bringing their family back together.

Sometimes, you go into foster care thinking about the child you'll welcome into your home, never imagining that you'll gain a lifelong relationship with their momma, too.

We are SO proud of this foster family for walking alongside this momma, cheering her on, and building a relationship that will last beyond foster care.

Because the goal isn't just to care for a child while they're in your home. It's to help families get back together whenever possible, and sometimes, you get to be part of a story that ends with a little more love and a few more people to call family. 🫶

What a beautiful reminder of what foster care can be! ā¤ļø
