Downriver Foster Closet is a 501c3 organization with a goal is to help foster families in need. Some of the items we can help with are clothing from infant sizes to adult sizes, hygiene products, furniture such as cribs/beds, baby equipment, formula, etc. We can also help birth parents who are being reunited with their children with any of these items. If it's something we don't have "in stock", we have built an incredible base of donors so it usually only takes a few days to gather needed items. Everything we have to offer is FREE and has been donated. We want to help in any way possible to make these kids feel good about themselves and take a little financial burden off the foster families. All the items the kids pick out, they get to keep; nothing needs to be returned to the closet!
The closet also runs yearly programs that would be beneficial to your families, a few examples are: In May we did a bike drive, September we did a book bag drive when we filled the book bags with new school items, in October we are doing a winter coat/hat/boot drive, then in December we will be doing our 1st ever Christmas drive! Right now we have started taking applications for foster parents to sign their kids up for Christmas. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfw6TAAFzs.../viewform...
