Spread Joy: Host a Free Shopping Day for Foster Children & Families

Make a meaningful impact by hosting a Foster Love Community Closet event, where foster children, families, and youth who have aged out of foster care can “shop” for gently used clothing and essential items—completely free. This initiative unites the entire community, bringing together faith-based and non-faith-based groups alike to support foster youth and families across the Valley.

By hosting an event at your location, your group will provide more than just essential items—you’ll offer comfort, dignity, and a true sense of belonging to those who need it most. Whether you’re part of a faith-based organization, community group, or business, your involvement brings hope and joy to foster children and teens, many of whom arrive with few personal belongings.

Together, we can ensure that foster children, families, and young adults who have aged out of foster care feel the compassion and support of a community.

For more information about hosting a free shopping day, please contact Love of Children at community@loveofchildren.org or (480) 549-8454. We’d love to discuss how we can work together to provide essential items to the foster community in a respectful and caring way. Let’s partner to bring comfort, hope, and joy to foster youth and families!
