Care Closet Boutique

Step into a world where every child is cherished and every outfit feels like an embrace. The Care Closet Boutique provides stylish and appropriate clothing to children transitioning into foster care, often arriving with little more than dreams and determination. Imagine the confidence boost a child experiences when they receive a wardrobe as unique and colorful as they are. Not only will your involvement alleviate the financial burden on foster families, but it will also help kids feel included and ready to face each day confidently.

Challenges Addressed:

  • Children often arrive at placements with only the clothes they’re wearing.
  • Foster families may lack the time or funds to shop for suitable items.
  • Kids may feel “othered” or embarrassed without proper clothing.

Benefits:

  • Supports self-esteem and social inclusion.
  • Helps children participate in school and extracurricular activities.
  • Eases financial pressure on foster families.

Items Needed Include:
New/gently used clothing, shoes, jackets, socks, undergarments (all sizes), and weather-appropriate wear.

At Fresh Start to Success, our boutique offers more than just clothes – it offers children a sense of belonging and the chance to fit in without the burden of financial pressures. Your contribution to the Care Closet becomes part of a child’s everyday bravery and joy as they join their peers in school and play. Join us in fortifying self-esteem and prompting smiles that last. Your support weaves strength and warmth into every thread; donate today!
