Each month we partner with a local non-profit to collect items that help them serve our community.
The Featured Community Partner for September is the Foster Care Closet. Their focus is meeting the immediate needs of children in crisis as they enter into the foster care system and offer continued support through their foster care journey. The Foster Care Closet provides every child with 5 new outfits each season, as well as shoes, personal hygiene products and comfort items.
They are in need of:
- Diapers in sizes 4-6
- Baby Wipes for sensitive skin
- Fleece Twin Size Blankets
- Children's Toothbrushes
- Children's Toothpaste - bubblegum and fruit flavors
We ask that all items be new/unopened and on the provided list.
You can drop off your donations in the bin outside of the office. If you prefer that we do the shopping for you, can give financially HERE.
Please mark your donation Featured Community Partner.
Thank you for your generosity!
