SHOP
We welcome foster and kinship families to bring their foster children to come shop for what they need at our donation center.
Requirements: Please bring custody papers with you each time you shop. If it is a brand new placement and papers have not come yet, an email from your case worker is sufficient. Kids who are reunifying with their parents are also able to come shop. We ask for the case worked to contact us in this situation.
Children over 6 need to be with you to shop at the donation center. Our mission is love and dignity for kids in foster care and part of that dignity is that they can pick out the clothing, styles and sizes that work best for them!
We encourage kids to pick several outfits, 2 pairs of shoes and a pack each of socks and underwear. We also have baby gear, sports equipment, toys, books, toiletries, diapers + more available as needed.
We allow kids to shop once a season for either spring/summer items or fall/winter. Diapers are given one time per placement.
Our sensory play room is currently closed.
HOURS
Tuesdays: 3-8PM
Thursdays: Noon - 8PM
Saturdays: 9am - Noon
