Our Services

Fosters Closet offers a range of supportive services designed to meet the immediate and ongoing needs of children entering foster care. Because many placements happen suddenly and with little notice, our programs focus on providing stability, comfort, and essential items at no cost to foster families. Through community generosity and our commitment to serving children ages 0–18, we ensure every child has what they need to feel safe and supported during a difficult transition.

Emergency Placement Support Kit

A box labeled 'Emergency Placement Kit for Foster Children' filled with baby supplies, including a teddy bear, bottles, folded clothes, a blanket, and a pair of shoes, on a wooden table.

Each newly placed child receives an Emergency Placement Kit that includes seasonally appropriate clothing, hygiene items, and comfort items to help them transition into foster care with dignity and stability.

When needed, we also provide larger essential infant or toddler equipment to support caregivers during emergency placements.

Clothing & Essential Closet

Array of children's clothing including a gray onesie, a light green T-shirt, a coral T-shirt, a blue denim shirt, a white and light blue striped long-sleeve shirt, navy shorts, denim shorts, and blue sneakers arranged on a wooden surface.

Families may schedule appointments to pick up free clothing, shoes, school supplies, and personal care items.

Baby & Toddler Supplies

We provide essential baby and toddler equipment to support caregivers receiving emergency placements, including car seats, bassinets, strollers, cribs, playpens, bouncers, high chairs, and other necessary items for infant and toddler care.
