Where Compassion Meets Action!

Host a Foster Love Community Closet Event

Make a meaningful impact by hosting a Foster Love Community Closet Day, where foster youth and families can “shop” for gently used clothing and other essentials, free of charge. This initiative unites the community—faith-based and non-faith-based groups alike—to support foster youth and families across the Valley. 

By hosting a Community Closet event, your group will provide hope and support to foster children and teens, many of whom arrive with little to no personal belongings.

Interested in partnering with us? Email community@loveofchildren.org or call (480) 549-8454.
