At Our Village Closet, we say YES TO FOSTER CARE every day.

Because the youth of foster care NEED us to show up NOW MORE THAN EVER…They are entering care at higher levels of acuity - needing more, hurting more.

These are some of the most vulnerable, at-risk youth in our community. Statistically, about 61% of these young people graduate from high school. 50% end up homeless or in jail. Only 3% go to college. 80% of the youth in foster care suffer from mental health challenges and PTSD at much higher rates than the general population.

Our Village Closet works to improve outcomes, increase protective factors, and support the youth and families impacted by foster care by providing FREE essentials, comfort items, and connection. Each month we assist and serve over 275 individual youth, and over 130 individual caregivers, CASA worker, and social workers.

“Thank you so much for all you do for those who don’t have the family and support they should. Thank you for being a light in the community that chases away the darkness of feeling alone, not only for me, but for others like me in the community.

You really have created a village where one was needed most.” -Former Foster Youth consider becoming a Foster Parent

We are asking you to step into foster care today, and make a donation that helps fund our Resource Center Program. By doing so, you too are saying YES to FOSTER CARE.

Your donations fund the essentials and comfort items we provide at our OVC Resource Center Program. Your donations also fund smiles and joy. Your donations help restore dignity and the power of choice for these youth during one of the most chaotic and traumatic times in their lives. Your donations fund community, connection, and hope for not only the Youth, but also the Caregivers of Foster Care.

Will YOU say YES TO FOSTER CARE?

We know there are so many worthy organizations to support. It is an honor to receive your donations and feel your generosity.
