They have been described as a "blessing" and an "encouragement" for the children they serve, who are able to choose their own clothing and toys, providing them with a sense of dignity and normalcy during a difficult time.
I love what they are doing here. I appreciated that the items are not junk and it's very well organized. It was such a blessing for us, and an encouragement to see the kids receive their clothing. They were all super happy to get vans shoes for school.

Love the concept behind this place. We're moving and I had donations but hate giving them to a place that is just going to resell to anyone. foster Closet is only for foster children and their families which I love. They also keep their website updated with immediate needs. Amazing place to give donations.
