Foster Care Resources in Colorado
Foster care lending closet.
We supply essential items free of charge to foster, adoptive, and kinship families throughout Colorado's Front Range, giving every child what they need to feel cared for.
A community coming together.
We're a community-run lending closet for Colorado families opening their homes to children in need.
With ten children entering foster care daily, often with just the clothes on their backs, our lending closet provides immediate essentials—gently used and new clothing, shoes, and coats—to foster, adoptive, and kinship families. Depending on our current inventory, we also provide diapers, wipes, formula, bedding, small equipment, and accessories. As children grow, families can return again and again, making us partners for their entire journey, not just day one.
How it works
Three simple steps:
Schedule
We'll arrange an appointment for you to visit the closet with one of our volunteers, or if you prefer, our team can prepare a package for pickup.
Receive
For each request, we aim to provide 7-10 days' worth of clothing, based on our current inventory.
