The main program of Our Village Closet is run from our OVC Resource Center. Here, connections to support and community are fostered as youth of foster care (ages 0-25), and/or their caregivers, come and "shop" for essentials and comfort items. This may include everything from socks, underwear, clothes, toiletries, blankets, small furniture, baby equipment to toys, books, art supplies, sensory integration supplies, fidgets, bedding, sporting equipment, or even special requests.

Our Village Closet proudly hosts two giveaway events each year as well: Back to School and our Holiday Gift Giveaway.

Not only are we providing essentials for the care of these youth, we are also showing them and their caregivers there is a village here for them, that cares about them and their needs.

Our direct work at the Resource Center is full of supportive connection as our staff and volunteers actively listen with a trauma-aware approach.

When our OVC Resource Center opened in June of 2021, we were serving around 30 youth each month. Now we serve over 300 youth and caregivers each month and the programs are growing!

We need the support of our near and far community to grow the village and support youth and caregivers of foster care.

Your donations fund the essentials and comfort items we provide. Your donations fund hope, smiles, and joy. Your donations help restore dignity and a sense of choice for these youth during one of the most chaotic and traumatic times in their lives. Your donations fund inclusion, connection, and belonging.

Thank you for your support and donations.
