How It Started
Most children who are removed from their homes and placed in foster care, arrive at their placement homes with only the clothes on their backs. The financial burden of providing clothing for the children is completely the responsibility of the foster family. Many Foster Families, from 14 counties, visit Love's Closet each week to pick out clothes and other necessities for the new child in their foster care family. Established in the Summer of 2006, Love's Closet is a FREE resource for these families and depends solely on YOUR generous donations!

How Can YOU Help?
Love's Closet is always accepting seasonal new and gently used clothing in sizes infant to adult. We also are constantly in need of other items such as:
Beds
Bedding & Pillows
High Chairs
Strollers
Diapers & Wipes
Formula & Bottles
Shoes & New Socks
New Intimate Apparel
Toys
Backpacks & School Supplies


Monetary donations are always accepted and greatly appreciated!!
