They did it again!!!!! Stasi Precour, with the help of her Thirty-one customers, again came through for WCFC. Pictured are Stasi and her son presenting us with beautiful tote bags. We are excited to be able to send clothing home with our foster children in these!. Along with the totes, she also gave a very generous donation. Thank you, Stasi!

Yesterday, Aria, Kellan and Nola came to visit the Washington County Foster Closet . These amazing children all have summer birthdays, so held a 50's birthday party. Instead of getting gifts, they asked that people bring items to donate to us! They spent time with us learning about foster care and the many things we all can do to help! Thank you so much (and mom and dad, too).

Thank you to Menasha for their continued support to helping children In our community!
We would like to thank everyone for your continued donations that keep our organization giving back to kids in our community. A few reminders for future drop offs.
1. We only accept new and gently used clothing. We do not accept clothing with holes, stains, or outdated materials.
2. We do not accept shoes, boots, used sock or used underwear.
3. We also do not accept bedding at this time.
If you ever have a question, please feel free to email. We do not have employees to go through donations, All workers are volunteers and they work very hard to ensure our clothing and materials are top notch for kids coming into care. We are trying to minimize the amount of materials that we discard. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for continuing to support our mission.

Three teens in West Bend's shelter care facility are on pace to graduate prior to the end of the year. A local photographer has agreed to take their senior pictures. We would like to show the teens how proud we are of what they have accomplished by allowing them to purchase new clothing for these pictures. If you would like to help with this effort, you can donate using Venmo or Paypal, mailing a check, or dropping one off at the closet. Our address is 3018 E Progress Dr. West Bend 53095. We are open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9AM until noon. Indicate it is for graduation and we will get it to them!
