FOSTER CLOSET OF MICHIGAN
Our organization provides clothing, underclothing, toys , shoes, baby equipment, gear and in some cases furniture to children placed in the foster care system in State of Michigan.
These items are new and like new items that have been donated to us. Children are often placed into foster care with no personal items and in many cases they come into care with only the clothes on their back. Our organization provides these kids with stylish new or like new clothing and personal items helping to begin the process of rebuilding their self-esteem and providing them with belongings they can call their own.
Our organization also helps reduce the financial strain a new placement can place on a foster family by freeing up funds that would otherwise be used to fulfill these immediate needs. These needs are not always met immediately or in full by the State and that is where we step in. Meeting these needs allow foster parents to be able to use the funds saved to help the children adapt to their new home life in other ways.
Foster parents and their children are able to come into our facilities and pick out the items they need, for free, providing the children with the ability to offer input in wardrobe choices and allowing them to express their personal tastes and individuality, another big step in helping these children rebuild their lives and self-esteem. Our organization never charges for these services or items.
