A Small Act of Kindness Can Change a Life!
You don’t have to be a Foster Parent to help a Foster Child. Donate gently used or new clothing. Donate baby furniture, toys, baby gear, strollers, car seats, etc. Currently children coming into foster care typically transport their clothing in trash bags. In our attempt to help raise the children’s self-esteem, we want them to get clothing from us in a nice bag that they can keep as their own to use. We are trying to stock clothing bags to be used for emergency placement of children coming into care with little or nothing. These bags hold a 2-3 day supply of clothing, a toy, a blanket, etc – depending on age. We usually stock 24-26 bags to accommodate boys/girls in sizes birth to teen – for one season. We will be pre-filling the bags with appropriate clothing per size & keep one of each on hand as needed. We restock as the emergency bags are distributed. What We Need **Volunteers to sew the bags **Donated Fabric & Supplies ***Groups to help one-time or as an on-going project. Fabric Bag Specifications **We use an easy pattern ***Clothing bags are uniform to enable stacking ***Fabric - durable & machine washable. ***Fabric should be appropriate for Children. You can make a difference in the life of a Foster Child. How Can You Help?
The Foster Closet relies on the generosity of the community to help these children. Without Community support—the Foster Closet couldn’t exist.
