"The Washington County Foster Closet is a great resource for families in Washington County. I have been able to get clothes and other household items for many families that needed them. The Foster Closet has also occasionally been able to help me in getting larger items for families. In one instance, they were able to help me locate a bed and mattress for a child in out of home care. Whenever I am working with a family in need, WCFC is the first place I reach out to!"

A Birth Parent

"When your child has medical issues that completely consume your time and thoughts, the last thing you need to worry about is clothing. My daughter needed many different sizes of clothing to accommodate her needs. The WCFC  stepped in and relieved that pressure as a mother. Most importantly, their generosity gave my daughter back her sense of self worth. and the strength she needed to persevere through her trials. The Washington County Foster Closet was a blessing and we are truly thankful."

"The Washington County Foster Closet has been such a blessing to us during our foster care journey! They have gone above and beyond with helping to take the stress away of gathering supplies for a new placement.  When you say 'yes', it is so nice to be able to focus on loving the child and less on obtaining everything you may need to care for them properly. It has greatly helped reduce the initial financial burden when taking in a new child. Babies require a lot of things, and it was so helpful to not have to buy all of it! We are so grateful for the support we have received from the WCFC!"
