In conjunction with our Compassion Camp Bible School in July, the Hunger & Clothing Team at First Lutheran is collecting items for the Foster Care Closet through the month of July. This program helps children and youth in the foster care system. Many enter the system with only the clothing they are wearing. Children and their foster families can shop at the closet to fulfill their needs. Look for the display in the Gathering Area to leave your donations. Monetary donations will also be accepted.
These are the itmes that are most needed:
- NEW twin size blankets
- NEW toys or board games
- Personal care items:
- Ethnic hair and skin items
- Skin lotion
- Acne scrubs
- Deodorant
- Feminine hygiene products
- NEW underwear and socks
- NEW or lightly used:
- Baby and toddler clothing
- Boys and girls clothing, including teens (especially tops)
- Shoes (toddler – youth sizes)
- JR-sized girls’ clothing
- Men size small T-shirts (for older boys)
- Jackets and winter coats
