Separating sizes is a simple way that you can be a HUGE help to our volunteers! If you are able to separate your clothing donations by size and simply label the bags, this will help us sort and organize more efficiently to get them to the children that need them. Thank you!

Wrapping around our local foster homes with consis

Wrapping around our local foster homes with consistent support is truly a team effort. While there are many unknowns in life, some things will stay the same. Children in vulnerable places will still need our help. Families will step up to help. And we want to be there beside them. Would you join us in 2025 by becoming a monthly donor?

Children come into state custody at all times. By becoming a monthly donor, you can serve with us throughout the year. What can a monthly donation do? It enables Compassion Closet to purchase items we may not have, purchase beds for sibling groups and kinship placements, as well as help cover our monthly expenses.

Here's a look:
✔️ 10 donors at $20 per month can provide a twin bed and mattress
✔️ 25 donors at $20 per month can provide a set of bunk beds and mattresses
✔️ 50 donors at $20 per month can cover one location’s monthly rent payment!

Would you consider partnering with us?
Visit https://compassioncloset.com/give to sign up.
Thank you for your continued support!

Compassion Closet is able to serve our local foste

Compassion Closet is able to serve our local foster care/adoption community thanks to donors like you! There are a few items that we do not accept.

What items do the Closets NOT accept or keep when donated? And why?
It is our desire to provide the absolute best for the children we serve! We believe that the items we provide do more than just meet a tangible need, but send a message of Christ's love and the value each child holds. This is the main reason we request and try to only keep items in new or gently used condition. Additionally, health and hygiene are also things we consider when processing donations to keep at our Closets.
Some items that we consistently DO NOT keep....
- Used underwear
- Used socks
- Used stuffed animals
- Broken, damaged, dirty items or anything in need of repair
- Outdated toys, gear or clothing
- Clothing/shoes with wholes, stains or signs of excessive wear.
- Any items missing parts
- Home goods (rugs, curtains, etc. aside from that appropriate for decorating a room for a child 0-18)
- Anything that smells of smoke or mildew or has visible pet hair
- Used mattresses (aside from wipe-able crib sized)

Thank you for helping us provide the very best for the children we are privileged to care for. ❤️
