The Wearhouse
Clothes matter.
Leaving home means losing everything – clothing, toys, family photos – and starting over from scratch. For foster parents, it means trying to outfit a growing child with the $300 per year the state provides for clothing (that’s less than half of what an average family spends). Our Wearhouse is a free store that fills this chronic gap. Kids can shop several times a year for new and like-new clothing, shoes, school supplies, books, toys, bikes and other essentials that help them feel good and fit in.

Foster Care Fact
An estimated 50-75% of school aged children who enter foster care must leave their school districts because there are no nearby foster homes available.
