Because Foster Closet is Volunteer Based, we ask that you are patient with our request of looking at our items in red below and only dropping off the items listed. Thank you for your support.
Although we ask for new or gently used items: Remember our founder’s Moto:
“Our kids have stains on the inside, they don’t need to wear them on the outside”
“We are like a high end consignment shop without the price.”
Check this page often. We tweak this needs list, on Wednesday evenings.
Check our Calendar Page for Hours and to schedule your drop off date and time. Our hours of operation are the times we accept drop offs.
Please remember our no stain policy: If we can't get it out with a Tide Stick, we do not accept. No used underwear or socks No writing - mommy / daddy / grandma ... etc. No writing - churches, schools, destinations or company logos. No smoke or musty smells No stuffed animals No Rips, Stains, Tears, or Fading
We ask that donations have a general Label on each bag or box, to show to our volunteers, what is inside each bag or box.
Ex: BOYS SUMMER- sz 8.
